Mr. Paul Savage:

I think the Deputy is talking about the number of outstanding payments. In terms of the number of farm families who are affected by this, it is those figures that I gave in terms of the outstanding payments. As I said, 558 people have not been paid their 2023 balancing payments, although half of those have already received an interim payment of €4,000 or €5,000. That 558 is part of the 1,600 who have not received an advance payment because they need to get their 2023 payment in order to get the grants. In turn, that 1,600 is part of the overall 3,300 who are still to get a balance. As each one is paid, it falls.
