The food aid development programmes cost €9 million or €10 million. In case any member thinks this is an easy win, if we do not pay that, the funding stream is transferred to the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade. This is part of our Government commitment to development aid. It is not money that could be transferred to, for example, the suckler cow welfare scheme.
