Mr. Brian Smyth:

They are. Last year, of the 1,000 people who went on farms, we paid about €800,000 into farmers’ pockets for the time they spent with those people. That money came from local development companies, WorkAbility programmes, Healthy Ireland, lottery funding and the HSE. It came from all over the place. That is why we went to the Minister of State, Deputy Hildegarde Naughton, and said that we need more of this because there are more people with disabilities who want to go out.
