I hear that. LAWPRO, its partnership with Teagasc and ASSAP were touched on. It was said that LAWPRO got involved in and submitted a bid for the funding on the competitive call under the EIP. We know that has a budget of €60 million that is being allocated over five years, of which €50 million is going directly to farmers. Will LAWPRO tell us a little more about that? Where is it now? What is the timeframe for the allocation of this €50 million that will go to farmers? It is a nice narrative that €50 million will go to farmers. It is a great line, but when and how will it go to farmers? What are the criteria for them to benefit from it? When will they see the colour of the money? Where will they have to channel it through? What is the conditionality around the allocation of that money to farmers?
