Mrs. Alice Doyle:

My colleagues will answer some of the questions. I will take the first one, which came from Deputy Fitzmaurice, on the farmers' rights charter. I was not in on the drawing-up of that but I have read it numerous times. While I cannot say definitively there is anything about mental health in it or not, I can tell him that it obviously is not very clear in it because it is not coming to my mind at this point and if it were clear, it would be there. Having said that, a lot of the time, when we were trying to draw up the different conditions and terms within the charter, we looked at - I suppose covertly - how the Department pays us, the long time it takes to pay us and the stress that causes on farms. I am afraid we did not get much of a reaction on that. It is still a period fo 14 days for us to respond, but a lot longer for the Department to respond if there is an issue.

My colleague Ms McGlynn will take the question from Senator Boyhan on funding.
