Heather Humphreys (Cavan-Monaghan, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

Under the new rural development programme, GLAS, some assistance is available for farmers. The scheme, which is operated by the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine, continues to provide payments for farmers under the corncrake grant scheme, which is offered to farmers with calling corncrake on their land in a given year, and for a small number of five-year farm plans. With regard to resources, I am unsure whether funding is available through Europe, but I can check and get back to the Deputy.
