Éamon Ó Cuív (Galway West, Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source

We are all willing to face up to the issue of undergrazing and land abandonment mentioned by the Minister, as long as farmers may, between them, put enough stock on the hills.

The Minister must review this and I believe he can find the wriggle room to do this within the legislation. He must provide that as long as the hills are fully grazed by all of the farmers together, this should be sufficient. Otherwise, he is literally putting his hands in the pockets of the farmers of hill areas.
