We need to get details on the type of equipment, the amount, the level of the grant, the maximum and so on. When the sums have been done and the receipts are produced, people must figure out in their heads what is realistic, as if they are going to the fair to sell or buy an animal. The Chairman said very clearly that we will pursue the social welfare issue. This applies to those who are out of fishing. We should also ask the Minister to pursue all European sources of funding. It is a fair point and this must be pursued. There is a point about live horse and get grass because Europe can be slow.
