Mr. Carroll said there does not seem to be any clear guidance at the moment with regard to fertiliser. Let us say a person does not get a single farm payment or does not have a herd number. He or she might have a horse or an ass or whatever and might just be farming as a hobby and only be getting a few bags of fertiliser. It is not clear at the moment, from what Mr. Carroll is saying, how such people will be affected. People like this do not seem to be in the system, or they will not be in the system. It will probably just be the farmers who are registered with the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine. Would that be fair to say?
