Yes. There is a letter gone. To think there is €7 million savings and we discussed it over and over at the committee during the summer. The licence system is a busted flush. It is frustrating for us in the committee so I can only imagine what it is like for farmers. As Deputy Fitzmaurice and others said, we are trying to encourage others to plant. The way it is going, there is not a hope in hell we will entice them in.
