Mr. Paul Smyth:

I will respond to a couple of points although Mr. Bourke has, in fairness, covered most of them. The forum will fall or rise depending on where the financial side of this goes. The points the Deputy made about valuation, pedigree, off-farm income and all of that are under consideration by the financial working group at the moment. Where we, as a group, go in that regard will ultimately decide the success of the programme. All those things are up for discussion. There is extra finance involved and it depends what way we go with it. That is the ultimate part of the programme and its rise or fall will depend on the finances.

One thing that Mr. Bourke did not cover was the vaccine and badgers. We are probably all aware of the efficacy of vaccines and things like that. The vaccine does not work on all badgers and that is where that comes from.
