James Breen (Clare, Independent)

A part-time farmer who has applied for installation aid cannot get time off from his employer to go through the processes involved. Could that farmer apply under the force majeure procedure to have his installation aid restored without doing the examination or will the Department consider putting a mechanism in place to help people like that gentleman and several others who cannot get time off from their employers? Perhaps they could do the course on an evening or weekend.
