We hope to publish the heads of the Bill before year end. On the Deputy's point that it will not help farmers, I argue it will if it is capped at 22.5%. The present situation is up to 100% of the farm can be taken under the fair deal scheme. This would apply a cap at 22.5% so it would be far superior to the current arrangement. The review is still continuing. I hope by year end to have some progress on it. I note the Deputy's interest and I will keep him updated.
