I will move on. The Department provides significant funding to Teagasc every year for farm advisory support, etc. With the new cap for 2023 to 2027 and its alignment with the EU Green Deal, it is very much envisaged that many farmers will need additional support. What is the current expenditure that the Department provides to Teagasc for it to deliver its programme and commitments? Does the Department intend to increase any supports relating to both Teagasc's farm advisory division and research?
