I go back to the figures mentioned by Deputy Barry. Roughly speaking, how many sheep farmers will approach the average and how many will be below it? What I am trying to find out is how many will gain substantially from the convergence process and how many will not gain. I am looking for rough figures. It is a numbers game. We are talking about €18 million annually. Is that correct?
