Throughout the country farmers and farm families are facing severe hardship due to the non-payment of farm payments. This is due to the subcontracting of the mapping project. Where mistakes occur, huge hardship is imposed not only on the particular farm family but the neighbouring families. It is a huge issue. What other sector of society would accept their payments or wages being held up? This is not acceptable. Under the data sharing Bill, data sharing is supposed to happen. Why can these corrections not be made-----

We will get the information on the data sharing Bill.

-----in advance of sending out the letters to farmers stating there is a problem? It is not fair to farmers and their families.

The Deputy has made his point.

The data sharing Bill will be published next year.
