Farmers with marginal lands are having their payments cut as the ground is classified as ineligible. If a farmer has 20% of his premium classified as an overpayment, 100% of his payments are being cut.

I tell Deputy Healy-Rae every morning he cannot raise these issues.

I am coming to the legislation. I am asking this under the Animal Health and Welfare Bill 2012-----

When is the Animal Health and Welfare Bill 2012 due?

-----because farmers will be unable to attend to their animals with the severe cuts that are being put upon them.

Deputy Healy-Rae did not hear me. I am getting the answer for him.

The Animal Health and Welfare Bill 2012 was enacted in May of this year.

May of this year.

Would the Taoiseach-----

Will Deputy Healy-Rae not play games here?

In respect of Deputy Healy-Rae's first question,-----

I call Deputy McDonald.

-----the Minister advises me that all land parcels throughout the country are being reassessed because of the requirement to save very significant fines arising from the European decision.

I would appreciate if the Taoiseach would not encourage Deputy Healy-Rae.

That is being conducted throughout the country to save very significant fines on farmers.
