One of the difficulties is that when we get into the detail of some of these schemes, we see that people who really want to do it are excluded. Every scheme needs to have criteria, understandably. However, to give an example, a farmer would very easily run up a cost of €30,000 in putting a decent-size solar project on the roof of his or her sheds. The farmer would have to find more than €20,000 of that cost. That could be a difficulty for the farmer.
