In terms of the work DESSA does, we heard previously from social farming and different types of social employment schemes. I refer to the experience of one social farm led by Mr. Val Cross in Rathangan, where I am from. It is tremendous to hear how those involved would speak about the involvement, from a farmer point of view, let alone those who get involved in it. Has DESSA had any involvement with any schemes like that?
