On TAMS, is there any focus on the derogation, which, I believe, will be coming up for Ireland next year? At present, farmers get a grant if they have a derogation. Will there be any aspects of TAMS available - for instance, if they needed to put down extra tanks - or is it just for soiled water? On the basis of the figures the Department has given us in respect of TAMS, it seemed to be slow enough in reaching decisions. Will that speed up as we go forward? Is TAMS like ACRES in that a new system is set up again every five years? Will Mr. Savage explain that? Is it the setting up of the new system and everything that is bogging us down, as the man says?
