Written Answers. - Disadvantaged Areas Scheme.
The townland of Coolroe in the district electoral division of Graiguenamagh has now been given less severely handicapped areas status as part of the recent reclassification agreed by the EC Commission. Previously, the mountain sheep grazing areas in that townland were classified as disadvantaged for sheep and goat headage purposes only. The revised classification will entitle farmers in these areas to additional benefits in the form of headage payments on beef cows and horses.
