Irish land policy is not delivering best results: a system like that in France might be the SAFER way to go

From the economic point of view is Ireland’s land policy delivering optimal economic performance?

In other words, is the Irish land base delivering as much production, in as efficient a manner, and supporting as many jobs as it possibly can?

The answer here is surely no. You need only take a drive through any rural area to see a mix of farming activity — some farms appear very productive, and others seem to be bordering on wilderness.
