Is Ms Noonan saying that if somebody from a farming background survives ten years in a nursing home, under the fair deal scheme, 70% of their farm is gone on debt? I understand that. People talked about the three-year cap but it is only very specific. That is the point Deputy Aylward is getting very concerned about. Is there double counting in the farming community if their income is being taken into account and on top of that, the HSE is taking 7.5% of the value of their land for every year?
