I thank Deputy Fitzmaurice for giving way. It is lovely to have our guests here. I always enjoy getting emails from them. There is always a positivity about where we should go with environmental matters. They are approachable in that they suggest ideas and are very environmentally aware, and I appreciate that.

Mr. Keane may have answered some of the questions for members and that is fine; the Vice Chairman will inform me later. I do not expect him to spend time going over the same ground again. On going forward with the CAP and our new schemes, what is his opinion on the environmental schemes as they are announced at the moment? I am confident that the number of schemes and choices will be extended. How does he look at them? Mr. Keane will have taken a good look at these and will have engaged on them. What are his members' opinions on them? Is there enough choice and are they are practical?
