I wish to ask two brief questions. There was an extra allocation for the commission for the economic development of rural areas, CEDRA, this year. What will it be spent on? Regarding late payments under the basic payments scheme last year, one of the big bugbears for people who had an issue and who could not contact the Department was when there was a change of staff. Will that issue be addressed in the event of difficulties arising next year?
