That is fair enough. I think Deputy Christopher O'Sullivan and I are on the same page. There are beef farmers in particular whose incomes are exceptionally low, who are struggling and who are very much dependent on subsidies. Is there an economic way forward for them so that instead of producing beef, they would produce the feedstock for anaerobic digestion? The benefit would obviously be to them but there would also be a benefit to the State in terms of reducing methane.
