I refer to my question on the EIB. The Minister's reply, which is similar to one I received yesterday, refers specifically to SMEs. Can the money be accessed by individual farmers for ordinary farming business or is it limited to SMEs, as we understand them? If one was to avail of the second fund, would the RDP have to be adjusted and the funding for existing RDPs reduced? Would it be a question of robbing Peter and paying Paul? Has the Minister commissioned the ex antereport? From what he said, I understand he would have to do that before making progress with the European Union. I have three specific questions, and perhaps this time I could get specific answers rather than the Minister rambling all around the world, not answering questions and wasting time.
