I am aware that issues to do with mapping can have an impact on income levels. However, the purpose of this meeting is to discuss the implications for agriculture of measures in the forthcoming budget. On the suckler cow issue, the Minister has clarified that any additional money allocated will be added to the current spending reduction target of €54 million, unless the Minister can negotiate something with the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform. I ask Deputies to concentrate on that. I will allow Deputy Ó Cuív to come back in, but he must be brief. I have already given him more time than anybody else.
