Vol. 456 No. 7
48 Mr. Killeen asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and Forestry the areas of County Clare that will qualify for the special £31 per ewe payment to farmers reducing sheep numbers and the related area based top-up payment. [14552/95]
I presume the Deputy is referring to the recent changes to the supplementary measures dealing with degraded areas in the rural environment protection scheme (REPS). This measure applies to areas which are considered to be seriously affected by overgrazing. No area in County Clare has yet been included in the list, a copy of which I am circulating.
