Is there a political issue here in respect of what farmers were told two years ago? We will park that question as it is political.

In terms of improving the whole suckler cow herd, if we get about 50% of the animals into the scheme, it will lift all of the animals right across the country. Is that right, based on what Mr. Coughlan said about stock bulls, artificial insemination, AI, and so on? The non-participants benefit but do not get the payment. Is that the logic in genomics terms?
