Liam Twomey: The section deals with farm restructuring. An issue relating to lands acquired by compulsory purchase order, CPO, and roll-over relief was raised by a number of my constituents.

Liam Twomey: Anyone in receipt of Government moneys must have a tax clearance certificate. Let us say, for instance, a grant is given to a HSE-funded organisation and that organisation then does business with another organisation.
