I see that the Bord Bia grant was €41 million in 2017 and €41 million in 2018. I know a specific one-off payment has been made to Bord Bia for the development of new markets. However, given the massive challenge arising from Brexit and the extra demand that places on the development of new markets, I would have thought there should be additional funding to Bord Bia, specifically to get boots on the ground. Does the Minister not agree?
