Rural Schemes
Seanad Éireann — 2024-07-04
============================================================

Eugene Murphy (CC), Agricultural Panel

This matter from Senator O’Reilly is very interesting. It relates to the need for the Minister for Rural and Community Development to amend the eligibility requirements for the local improvement scheme, in particular the need to remove the requirement to have a house on at least 1 ha of land when there is only one other landowner with a herd number. We are all aware of these cases. Senator O’Reilly may now make his case.
