I really have a problem with the carbon tax. Another one is due in May. The problem is that it is going up constantly and we still do not have any more farmers going into schemes. The Minister, Deputy Ryan, stated very clearly, "Suck it up, guys, and all of you will be included in the schemes." If he is interested in the environment, he should be giving the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine enough money to make sure those 9,500 farmers are taken in under the scheme.

I will move on. In regard to SBCI being at minus 98%, what is the story there?
