I do not actually agree with that part. However, we will agree to differ. On Macra na Feirme, Mr. Keane said he agreed with the €60,000 cap. The only problem at the moment, as he will be aware, is that young farmers, many of whom are happy enough, can go only to 90 ha and get €22,500, plus the top-up. That brings them to about €27,500 or €28,000. Where does the €60,000 come in on Mr. Keane’s side?
