I am from an agricultural background. Mr. Healy gave the figures on the domestic house - the 7% and 7.5% over three years. I have concerns about farmers who may be asset rich but cash poor. Such farmers probably have inherited assets and want to pass them on. There were changes in the budget. Can Mr. Healy give a brief outline on the agriculture end of it, from a farming point of view?
