The bureaucracy of the agricultural system is a serious issue. It is impossible to read some of the forms. It is a pity a journalist does not write some of them so that people can understand them. On two occasions, I had queries in relation to arable area aid on my own farm which were unnecessary and should not have been made. The Department of Agriculture and Food made the mistake. Regarding payments being described as bribery for a "Yes" vote in the referendum on the Nice treaty, as far as I can recall, my payment for arable area aid arrived at the same time as it did last year. The cheque arrived on 16 October and was dated 16 October. I was paid on time and I would have been upset had I not been.
