Mr. Francis Morrin:

I cannot answer the Deputy with a simple "Yes" or "No" but I will keep my answer as short as possible to give the Deputy the most time. Anybody can still complete the forms themselves. They absolutely can. They can go online and do it themselves. Of course, most farmers will not want to do that and some 82% of applications for payments happen through advisers. Some of that is the surety and extra knowledge those advisers give. Some of it is that it almost feels like insurance for the farmer. I can totally understand that. Our offices are always open. We ran 16 clinics all around the country this year to help farmers on a one-to-one basis, completely free of charge, to come in and do their applications. Our office in Portlaoise-----
