Question:

252 Mr. Ring asked the Minister for Agriculture and Food the reason land in County Mayo was reduced on digitisation in view of the fact that the holding never changed and the person (details supplied) still owns 3.07 hectares rather than 2.61 as indicated by his Department. [21210/98]

Minister for Agriculture and Food (Mr. Walsh)

The herd-owner's land was digitised as 2.61 hectares and this was the area claimed by the above-named on his 1998 area aid application.
