Brian Ó Domhnaill (Fianna Fail)

I move amendment No. 25:

In page 29, line 46, to delete "one or more persons as valuers" and substitute "a panel of valuers".

This amendment relates to the panel of valuers. We had a lengthy enough discussion on the independence of the valuation panel on Committee Stage. We spoke about the need to give the applicant or the farmer the opportunity to select his or her own valuer from a wide and varied list from the Department rather than a list of two or three valuers. I recall vividly the Minister's response. I am not sure if it is an area which could be looked at. The Minister suggested some tweaking at the time, so I am not sure if there is anything he can do.
