• The membership of the Committee is drawn from those counties that have a high proportion of hill land.
• The Committee deals with all aspects of CAP both Pillar I and Pillar II as it affects hill farmers.
• It is also involved in the recreational use of hill land mainly through the walks scheme and through involvement with Comhairle na Tuaithe.
