I accept that Deputy McConalogue and I are never going to see eye-to-eye on this. We met the objective of enrolling 50,000 applicants in GLAS. We paid every contingent liability we faced under AEOS and REPS. Those were inherited liabilities, as there will be inherited liabilities from this rural development programme, as provided for in the regulation post-2020. We met the target of 50,000 applicants and we will exceed the figure of €1.4 billion given by Deputy Coveney at the time.
