I thank the representatives from the IFA for coming back before the committee. In particular, I welcome my neighbour, Mr. McCormack. I would say he is glad to be out of the field for a day.

I will first ask Mr. Cullinan about the horticulture support scheme. It is obviously very disappointing that mushroom growers and strawberry growers in particular have been omitted from it. Has he received any feedback from the Department on the reason they were omitted?
