Éamon Ó Cuív: Has the calculation been done allowing for the net effect based on farmers' practices? As Mr. Smyth says, all sorts of photographs are taken so the Department will be keeping track of who has what on the hill. If the farmers who do not currently put stock on the mountain, who comprise approximately 50%, are all put out of the schemes, what will be net loss to the economy in the relevant...
