Deputy Éamon Ó Cuív asked the Minister for Arts, Heritage and the Gaeltacht the legal basis on which he is refusing to pay compensation to farmers in the Nephin Beag range and the Maumturks-Twelve Bens range where they can prove there are continuing residual losses over the next five years, due to the destocking imposed by his Department on them which ceased this autumn, as these farmers can only restock their farms by breeding sheep on the hills, as any purchased sheep would not remain on a strange hill; if he is willing to enter negotiations with the farmers affected or their representatives; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
