Brendan Smith (Cavan-Monaghan, Fianna Fail)

The Deputy may not have had a chance to read my press release of yesterday. In the final paragraph I indicated that all sectors would be eligible for consideration for the unused funds. In particular I mentioned that mountain and lowland sheep production would be eligible for consideration under the unused and modulation funds. As I said earlier we do not have the details of the scheme or proposals from Europe that would enable us to use the unused funds.
