Patrick O'Donovan

Question:

552. Deputy Patrick O'Donovan asked the Minister for Defence in view of the decision taken by the Shannon Airport Authority to allow farming organisations to cut grass on property owned by it to help alleviate fodder shortages in the local area, if he will ask those agencies, companies, authorities, boards and so on who come within his remit to consider similar initiatives on suitable public lands owned by them in conjunction with representatives of local farming organisations; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [23767/13]

Written answers

The question of allowing the cutting of grass by farming organisations on Defence lands does not arise as leases are currently in place for lands suitable for grass harvesting.
