Yes, but not for a new person who wants to apply. When does the Minister envisage the lime coming and at how much per tonne will it be put out?

Access to finance is very important. My understanding, and the Minister might be able to explain this to me, is that generally these access to finance schemes are for six years. If a farmer wants to buy a bit of land, I believe he or she is not allowed under the scheme. Will anything be done to help them in the sector maybe for a ten-year period or allow it so that farmers could buy a bit of land? Why is it restricted to certain things?
