I appreciate that answer. Livestock hauliers are exempt from having to have a haulier's license, and I am sure the scheme was not designed to exclude them from the support, which is needed. I appreciate the Minister's indication that he will raise the matter with the Minister for Transport and I hope we can get it sorted as quickly as possible. These businesses are under extreme pressure travelling throughout the country and hauling livestock, an essential part of the infrastructure for our agri-food industry. I hope we can get this anomaly removed from the support scheme as quickly as possible.
