I thank the Minister and his officials for their attendance. I had a query about subhead B10, forestry and bioenergy, but it has been answered. My other question relates to programme C, policy and strategy. It appears that the spend is estimated to have dropped by 4% from the figure for 2018. How does the Minister account for this?

What projects are being funded under the Commission for the Economic Development of Rural Areas, CEDRA, that is, the rural innovation and development fund?

On food aid donations to the World Food Programme, explain the disparity between the Estimates for 2018 and 2019?

Why is the sum for the European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development estimated to be lower in 2019 than in 2018? I refer to programme E, appropriations-in-aid.
