I would be surprised if there were no additions with some of the environmental schemes going back to 2010 or, even before that, with the rural environment protection scheme, REPS. Ms Clerkin will be familiar with the land too. There was a substantial amount of sowing under the schemes, including in Monaghan or any other county, especially those counties in the west or where there are many farmers. Do the witnesses have any figures from the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine about sowing in Monaghan?
