Edward Nealon
Question:164 Mr. Nealon asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and Forestry if he is making a submission to the European Community for a new category of extremely disadvantaged areas where the national farm income for the area is less than 40 per cent of the national average and where particular difficulties have been experienced because of low density of population, soil type, rainfall and windspeed; if his attention has been drawn to the fact that substantial sections of the farming area of County Sligo suffer from a combination of these disadvantages; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
