I find it incongruous that we cannot be clear on this matter today, towards the end of March. We know 24,500 farmers are currently in the beef data and genomics programme. I am simply asking how much it will cost this very year, which we are a third of the way through, to pay these 24,500, and the Minister is not able to tell me.
