Mr. Michael Earls:

A fund of €30 million to €40 million per annum over the eight years would pretty much cover 70% of the farmers in Ireland by the end of 2030.

We have costed it. There are costings on the slat rubber and the aeration and this is the figure that is needed to install the products on that number of farms. This is not just an Easyfix fund or anything like that; there are other companies. For example, there is a company in Finglas, County Dublin, that has an excellent slat rubber product. It is our biggest competitor on the marketplace. Its product has the same accreditation as ours, which comes from Wageningen University. I have no doubt that in the future other technologies will come on board. A fund like that for 2030 would encourage other technologies to come to the fore.
