Simon Coveney (Cork South Central, Fine Gael)

It is both. I do not have exact figures on the breakdown. However, the average price for beef, for example, is 15% to 18% higher than the average price last year. Even though the tonnage of beef exported has reduced slightly, the value has increased because of prices. In the case of beef it is more about an increase in the price of beef rather than an increase in volume. However, in other sectors - certainly in the seafood sector - it is both value and volume, as is the case in the dairy sector. I can get the Deputy the exact breakdown if he wishes.
