I thank the Minister for his opening statement. I have just two brief questions.

I will not repeat what has been said in regard to TB but the increase in expenditure is a cause for concern. I look forward to seeing what the forum does and to engaging with its members at the committee in the coming weeks, as the Cathaoirleach has said.

On this year's farm payments, 70% have been paid. Does the Minister have figures for how many farmers are still waiting for either their first ANC or BISS payment?
