One can understand that it is very difficult for Irish citizens to understand that they have to pay €280 million extra when they have such a huge homeless problem and they have such a huge deficit in investment in infrastructure, particularly in the regions. I want to refer to CAP. This is hugely important. If we accept that there is going to be a hole in the budget, CAP is in the firing line, as the Commissioner said. I was concerned because last month the Commissioner told German farmers that cuts to direct subsidy are coming. Who made that decision and when was it made, that there would be cuts to CAP?
