I can answer that for the Deputy now. Sorry, I did not realise she was talking about B14 as well. B3, the agri-environment scheme, covers TAMS and organics and the environmental elements of them. That was reduced. As regards the European recovery instrument, EURI, this is the last year we are able to claim the allocation, in 2025. For TAMS that was down €13.3 million and for organics it was down €14.9 million from that. B14 is ACRES, and we will require additional funding. There is a shortfall between what was budgeted last year for ACRES and what is required.
