I welcome Mr. Gleeson and his officials. Theirs is one of the most important Departments, given that it covers the agriculture sector, one of the largest indigenous sectors. It has an important part to play, therefore, in the well-being of the country.
I turn to more day-to-day issues. I am a farmer and I am on the ground all the time. On the €100 million Brexit fund for farmers, which was announced two weeks ago, has the Department any information from Brussels or the Commissioner on its conditions? When will it be rolled out and who will benefit from it?
