I will come to that because unfortunately there is nothing new in Fianna Fáil's motion apart from a proposal to give €200 per animal to every suckler farmer in the country even though we have a beef genomic scheme that has gone to the Commission to be considered for approval. When we asked for observations during a public consultation process, there was no mention of this €200 per animal coming from Fianna Fáil. It was a last-minute conversion in the week of the World Ploughing Championships which it is now following with a Private Members' motion.
