A report is set to be published in the new year which will outline the financial impact of land designations on farmers, Minister of State with responsibility for nature, Christopher O’Sullivan, has said.
Speaking to the Irish Farmers Journal, Minister O’Sullivan said the report could inform how farmers are compensated for designated lands in the future.
“We have a report coming out at the start of next year, being done by Mazars, and that report will identify the financial loss to farmers who farm in designated areas. That will inform the next steps.

“I would love to see a situation where those who are farming in designated areas are incentivised and that’s acknowledged,” he added.
