I want to make sure the committee is aware a deduction is in place in relation to the carbon tax element of fuel costs. I accept that for many in our farming community at the moment, the alternative to diesel-fuelled tractors is not readily available. I know that is the case but that is why the Government has tried to help with other costs in relation to our farmers, for example, through the double income tax relief on carbon and the supports made available by the Minister, Deputy McConalogue, at other points, such as with regard to the tillage sector.
