Mr. Brendan Gleeson:
Our understanding is we will receive €50 million from Brussels. The balance will comprise national funding. We have an annualised accounting system, an annualised Estimates system. Therefore, the money will be gone at the end of 2019. We will then be into a new budget cycle.
We have provided for increased funding for beef in the 2020 Estimate. It has been increased from €20 million to €40 million.
