643. To ask the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine the reason whereby in a GLAS 3 application by a person (details supplied) and as administered by his Department, protection of watercourses was not an option when adjoining landowners using the river in question qualified for this option.

The GLAS 3 Specification clearly sets out compatible GLAS actions that can be selected on the same land parcels when applying to join GLAS. This specification states that where the Wild Bird Cover action is selected on a whole or part parcel basis the Protection of Watercourses from Bovines action cannot be selected on the same parcel. Therefore by selecting the Wild Bird Cover action the person named excluded himself from selecting the Protection of Watercourses action on the same land parcel.
