Vol. 440 No. 7
210 Mr. McCormack asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and Forestry the assistance, if any, that is available to farmers from his Department in completing their area aid forms in view of the fact that many elderly farmers are very confused in carrying out this function; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
My Department arranged a series of information meetings throughout the country in conjunction with Teagasc to help farmers in completing their 1994 area aid applications. Apart from these meetings my Department is continuing to deal with many personal written or telephone queries concerning these applications and is anxious to help farmers in every way to complete them accurately in 1994.
