I have a question regarding the €54 million reduction in expenditure and the costs saving under REPS, which is an offset figure. Is it the case that any scheme in respect of suckler cow welfare would effectively be an add-on? If, say, €20 million were put into suckler welfare, would the cost-saving requirement then become €74 million as opposed to €54 million?
