Okay. Will the Minister look into the slurry issue? I can see a problem. I am a contractor. The bit I do will not change Ireland but I am talking about the number of farmers ringing at the moment who are not familiar with what they have to do this year and next. On Sunday evening, two of them rang me wondering what they have to spread with this year. Next year, they have to look at whether they are under 100 or over that. Does the Minister understand me? Most of them will be on the LESS system over 100. Many contractors would be just splash plate at the moment and will not be going down that road for the amount of work they are doing, unless some bit of help is given. This is not about subsidising; it is about the environment that is being played to make sure we reduce emissions.
