Brendan Smith
Question:651. Deputy Brendan Smith asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine if his attention has been drawn to the difficulties that have arisen for some applicants under the sheep fencing scheme TAMS II where farmers were told in advance of submitting the application that it was not necessary to have sheep at that time and where applications are now being disallowed on the basis of not having sheep on the farm holding at the time of application; if he will ensure that this unacceptable change in criteria will be reversed without further delay and that all applications that met with the relevant criteria at the time of submitting the applications will be approved; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
