I am telling the Deputy that approximately €100 million, which is additional money, will be paid out cumulatively to the beef sector before the end of this year. Looking across Europe, the beef sector is in considerable difficulty. We are the only member state that has received anything in support of our beef sector. While I appreciate that the market continues to be difficult, and we will continue to make the best possible case in support of our agricultural sector on all occasions, it is not simply a case of knocking on the door and collecting the money. A detailed case must be made. We are now particularly focused in our ask on a no-deal Brexit and the consequences it would have for the beef industry.
