CAP reform is coming down the line at 100 miles per hour. Mr. Healy referred briefly to this in his opening statement. Could he tease it out a little more and put a little more flesh on the bones? How does he think CAP reform could play a significant role going forward in making not alone agriculture but also climate change sustainable?

Mr. Healy mentioned carbon tax in his opening statement. My final question is what would Macra na Feirme's response be to the fee-and-dividend model, whereby revenue from the carbon tax is recycled to householders, with the potential for greater payments for rural communities? He mentioned a few minutes ago rural communities from the point of view of renewable energy. What attitude would Macra na Feirme have in this regard?
