Mr. Michael Earls:

I will take the next question. Regarding the cost of the scheme, right now we have a climate crisis and we do not have any answers to date. We have put forward some answers that will give some relief to farmers so that they now know if we take certain actions, we can achieve the targets set out by 2030. Not alone can they achieve those targets, but they can surpass those targets. The original aim was to decrease the emissions by 1% per annum. Based on the figures we have presented to the committee, we could achieve a 24% decrease by 2030. When it comes to money, is there anything more important than that right now? In addition are the added benefits of all this. We are talking about the slurry which is absolutely critical right now. This is more critical than ever. We know what it will mean to the farmer to have this extra benefit from the slurry in addition to the safety element of it and better animal husbandry. This €30 million to €40 million per annum is a win-win for everybody.
