Some of my questions are predicated on what the answers might be to some of the questions that have already been asked. Is the mountain grazing area retained? Also, have the two lowland designations - the more severely impacted and the less severely impacted - been retained?

Reference was made to what the Department is directed to do by the EU. What are the Department's areas of flexibility?

In terms of the extra €50 million, it was said that an extra 4,000 farmers are being brought into the ANC and is the money divided up among them? The scheme is designed to compensate for areas that are most severely impacted. How is that being done? How has the scheme been balanced so that the areas that the payments will be paid to farmers in areas that have the highest or most severe constraints?
