Chapter 10 - Forestry Grants (24 Oct 2019) Marc MacSharry: It is a European problem. It is like telling a fisherman that we will give him money to survive this year, but we will take his fishing rod next year and he will not be able to fish. Farmers are engaged in the production of food. I will come to the fact that we are giving €20 million to the World Food Programme at a later stage. Under the cover of an emergency in the industry, we...

Chapter 10 - Forestry Grants (24 Oct 2019) Marc MacSharry: I have no difficulty bashing the Commission. If it is being over-zealous in designing supports or parameters, it is perfectly legitimate for us to criticise it. If it is the fault of the Commission that the parameters are so narrow, it certainly deserves to be bashed. The accounts note a significant number of lands held by the Department. This is a matter I raise with other Departments....

Chapter 10 - Forestry Grants (24 Oct 2019) Marc MacSharry: It is poor practice for us not to value such matters. I do not accept that the Department could not be going around the whole country doing valuations or that valuations could be out of date the following week. That is not good. What does the Department do to ensure that the property's title is clear? I refer to issues that might arise due to squatter's rights or unscrupulous people...

Chapter 10 - Forestry Grants (24 Oct 2019) Marc MacSharry: Mr. Gleeson thinks I will drop a bomb and ask where the 300 acres that have been taken over by such and such are. I will not do that, however. There are 40 holdings, some of which are small, but I would hazard a wild guess that nobody from the Department has walked near them since the Land Commission gave them to it 100 years ago. It is quite likely the assets have been lost to the State...
