Just to be clear, at one stage, for clearing the ground, the payment was €1,000 per ha. That has now been doubled to €2,000 per ha. That is for clearing. Then there is funding for replanting it, but there is also a further €5,000 per ha for the farmer himself or herself. Farmers will not have to spend that. That can be for themselves, and it is tax free.
