Mr. Noel Feeney:

Also, as part of the question the Deputy asks, it is important to remember that over the years private advisers have built up a close relationship with their clients. We are now advising their children who have taken over the farms. We talk about EIPs and water quality and, as we are all aware, a lot of this involves complicated paperwork and complicated science that has to be applied to each farm. After our being in the position of having the many years of relationships and trust we have built up with the farmers, all of a sudden someone else is coming in and that trust just might not be there. To gain the proper end result we all want, we believe it is not a proper delivery system. The trusted adviser should be involved in dealing with those farmers.
