South Kilkenny boundary exclusions
Aylward asks why some poor-quality lands near Tory Hill and Chapel Hill were excluded while other lands were included.
asked the Minister for Agriculture the reason certain areas (details supplied) in the Tory Hill/Chapel Hill region of south Kilkenny did not satisfy the criteria laid down by the EC for inclusion under the disadvantaged areas scheme in the recent review of the boundaries; the reason lands of a better quality were included which were not in the original submission and smaller farms of poor quality omitted which were part of the original submission; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
