The Minister, Deputy Coveney, is welcome back to this side of the Atlantic. I take this opportunity to congratulate our colleague, Deputy Martin Ferris, on the victory that Ardfert had on the weekend.

We are told that the farmers of Ireland, on top of a land parcel identification system, LPIS, fine of €180 million, are now facing a superlevy fine of €100 million. What I need to know today is what has the Minister succeeded in doing to reduce or eliminate this totally unnecessary fine?
