Brian Lenihan Jnr (Dublin West, Fianna Fail)

I think it was Kildare rather than Clare.

Deputy Crawford raised the question of the transfer of single premia and other farm payments. It does not come within the scope of this Bill but I will raise the issue with the Minister for Agriculture, Fisheries and Food to see whether the legislation in this area can be examined with a view to dealing with the issues raised by Deputy Crawford.

All sides of the House welcome this measure. It is necessarily highly technical in scope but it will play a significant part in the reform of our property law and law relating to land transactions which is now under way.
