I have a quick statement for the Minister, in case I am missing something. The Department's budget was €2.1 billion in 2008. In 2014, it has a €1.219 billion budget. Food Harvest 2020 came about when I first attended the Global Irish Economic Forum in 2011. It appears from the other questions that it has gone terribly well, particularly in light of the budget the Minister now enjoys, which is rather smaller than previously, yet we seem to be enjoying humongous growth.
