Amharc ar fhreagraBoth my Department and the Department of Agriculture and Food have continued to explore all options to resolve issues concerning levels of compensatory payment under the rural environmental protection scheme to farmers in the Shannon callows to the satisfaction of all concerned. I understand that new arrangements are being announced by my colleague the Minister for Agriculture and Food to deal with one aspect of the matter, and I hope that these will contribute to a satisfactory resolution.
