My apologies; I am probably not explaining myself properly. Last year, in the 2021 Estimate figure, some €18.7 million was available under these loans. Assuming they were all drawn down, farmers would have been repaying that money. When that money is repaid to the banks, does it become available to be reissued under the same scheme or are new farmers who apply relying wholly on the €13.2 million that has been earmarked for SBCI in the subsequent year?
