I condone a lot of what Senator Boyhan said but I will not rehash last...

Paul Daly: I will be brief. I only have a couple of questions. I will not go over ground that has already been covered. Most of our questioning and commentary in situations like this are based on the representations or the volume of calls we get in respect of or relating to particular schemes. Based on that, if I were to honestly answer with regard to my workload since the introduction of ACRES, the...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Agricultural Schemes: Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine (3 Jul 2024)

Paul Daly: It was an anomaly that I do not want to see happen again going forward. It was by virtue of the fact that farmers did not have to put their entire holding into ACRES. It was the farm that Teagasc was using for the evening part of the day course. We were in the field that was in ACRES and the watercourse was fenced off. The cattle had been taken off that field by either the first or last...

Paul Daly: I apologise for interrupting but when both witnesses say the Department is basing its reference cost on receipts from farmers, does that mean it is monitoring or basing its reference costs on jobs that are about to start from the information that has been collected on jobs that are complete? Would that be correct?
