Mr. Brendan Gleeson:

It is a question of the €25 million and whether we have decided yet how to allocate it. The answer is that we have not. The options ranged from a flat rate increase for everybody to targeting higher increases for farmers in more disadvantaged areas. A range of possibilities is being considered but a decision has not been made yet.
