Our original estimate was €7 million but that is a shot in the dark. With the response we are getting, we now think it will probably be somewhat less than that, maybe a good bit less. We will provide for it. In the overall scheme of things it is not a huge consideration. Our consideration is to get as much land as possible back to being farmed commercially, if possible by the next generation of farmers, young men and women alike.
