Joint Oireachtas Committee on Rural and Community Development

Joint Meeting of the Joint Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine and the Joint Committee on Rural and Community Development
Common Agricultural Policy: Discussion

Mr. Colm Hayes:

There were limits but it was open to everybody, including those who were in AEOS, to join the scheme. I am satisfied the Department did its duty in terms of those who were in AEOS. In addition, the implications of not transitioning to GLAS were made clear to all those who were in AEOS at the time.
