I agree with the previous Deputy, in that the Burren was a total disaster when scientists were looking after it. When the farmers went back and showed how you should farm, their example was brought out everywhere around Europe and said to be great. The farmer in the Burren now gets ACRES. My young fella will get ACRES, even though he is not in the Burren.
