Most issues have been covered. We all have our own aspirations and we know where we think CAP funding should or should not go. What I am taking from the presentation today is that we are in a bit of a vacuum. We are expecting a document in November but there is a rumour the whole thing could be rolled out in 2023. Are we being side-tracked by Brexit? Could something come down the line that we are not expecting? The Department built its presentation around a document which it stressed is a leaked document and cannot be believed. The witness gave the impression that if it was the real thing we would meet it with open arms. Are we getting side-tracked? Could something come down the line that none of us expected? Are we being fed information about the possibility of it being pushed out and the implications of Brexit? Is there more to this than meets the eye?
