This is about Exchequer spending on various schemes. In the context of the rural development programme for 2014 to 2020, the exact detail of the current genomic scheme, as part of the built-on beef data programme that was announced, was outlined by the Minister in his presentation. Every scheme that has ever been devised has involved a certain amount of paperwork and compliance. No scheme ever rolled out has attracted 100% participation, not even the old headage payments scheme which was quite simple. We need to bear in mind that no matter what scheme we introduce, it will not have full participation. The philosophical debate is for the Dáil Chamber rather than this committee. I want agreement.
