Mr. Barry Delany:

This particular programme tried to incentivise farmers to plant. That is why they get an additional five years of premium. Their premiums range from €800 to €1,200 per hectare per year. If you are a company or non-farmer, you get that for 15 years. If you are a farmer, you get that for 20 years. With the application rate we have at the moment, 80% of applicants going through our process and who have been approved under this programme have been farmers.
