I know time is limited. I have two specific questions. Will the Minister introduce additional flexibility into the force majeurescheme to improve the single farm payment and bring it to a viable level for farmers who established prior to 2008 with poor entitlements? Can the Minister, in conjunction with the Minister for Finance, see if a mechanism can be found to allow farmers who established prior to 2010 to avail of some additional incentive for on-farm investment? I am talking primarily about those who did not get into the installation aid scheme. Could there be some incentive to access that is similar to TAMS? Could there be a mechanism for those who established prior to 2008 to top up low payments where they are unable to avail of the new definition of a young farmer?
