I have a question for the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine relating to the delay in payments to farmers who are part of a commonage at Killerry in Ballintogher, County Sligo. One farmer has told me he is at the loss of about €40,000 and others are at the loss of about 140%. I ask that this would be dealt with as a matter of urgency. Thirty farmers are involved in that commonage on which a fire occurred last year. It is time this matter was resolved in the interest of those farmers. I have met them and they are certainly out of pocket. I ask the Minister and his officials to examine this matter again as a matter of urgency and to ensure it is resolved.
