Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Areas of Natural Constraint Scheme Review (13 Jun 2019)

Jackie Cahill: I thank the Minister of State for his reply, but to get to the heart of the issue, land that qualified under the biophysical criteria is now, because of the fine-tuning, being excluded from the scheme.
