Tipperary eligibility criteria

Summary

Byrne again asks why similar land in Tipperary was excluded while land in Waterford was included. The Minister replies that the area did not meet the criteria.

I am allowing Deputy Byrne one last question.

Comment on this

Could the Minister explain the irregularity between the Waterford and the Tipperary situation? Was Tipperary examined or did the officials get lost in the bog?

The criteria were applied and obviously the area the Deputy refers to did not meet the criteria on this occasion.
