I know, but the challenge in these schemes is to get an increase in funding so that the numbers can increase. When the Minister speaks to the Department of Employment Affairs and Social Protection, he can argue that, if he increased the number by 1,000, all he would need would be to show the net saving on the farm assist scheme versus the RSI. That would be a problem if the programmes were in two different Departments.
