I appreciate that schemes such as TAMS are constantly examined with regard to eligibility criteria. Again I make the point that the Women in Agriculture Stakeholders Group has raised issues for months about the eligibility criteria for TAMS and for knowledge transfer. Given that it has raised these concerns, I ask that specifically the payment under TAMS for the women farmers' capital investment scheme and the specific eligibility criteria for the scheme be looked at.

Will the Minister of State give a timeline for the remaining approvals? There are quite a number to get through, with 68 out of 259 approved. Will the Minister of State give a timeline for the remaining applications in tranche 1?
