Seán Kyne (Galway West, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

I am not talking about any particular case. I often drive past large mountainous commonage areas that are sloped. Penalties are being imposed on many farmers who are thought to have over-claimed. They are losing money because of this. I think it is a genuine issue. Farmers could be losing a certain number of hectares on the basis of assessments involving the mapping system that is used at present. If the lands in question were assessed by an engineer, it might be found that the gross area is actually higher in some cases.
