Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 30 June 2016
146. Deputy Michael Healy-Rae asked the Minister for Arts, Heritage and the Gaeltacht the status of the KerryLIFE programme and its impact on farmers (details supplied); and if she will make a statement on the matter. [18992/16]
View answerI understand that the KerryLIFE Project Team has asked farmers to provide certain details to my Department, in order for it to administer aspects of the programme, both effectively and efficiently.
I am advised that the process being followed involves the project team carrying out a farm walk with each individual farmer. During the farm walk, the project team talks through the farm plan measures with the farmer. Following the farm walk and agreement to the measures proposed, the farmer is then asked to sign the farm plan.
