The committee will take it up with the RSA and then we will consider it and come back to the Minister of State. I have a few questions for the Minister of State. I will follow on from Deputy Carey's questions on the €90 million allocated for rural support. My understanding is the Government had to get approval from the European Commission for the €20 million. I thought that set a precedent and, therefore, it would not be required on this round. Is it a different type of scheme from the €20 million scheme?
