In response to Deputy McNamara, my understanding from recollection is that approvals are still required in most of those instances. It would certainly be the intention that once approvals are given, they can move through to payments. That is part of the scheme that is still being rolled out and is the next step in relation to the co-operation streams.

In response to Deputy Ó Cuív's question, the intention would be to be in a position to pay everybody by the end of this year. Obviously, the system is still being built and finalised with regard to payments and making sure that scores are delivered. That has proven challenging but it will be worked out over the next couple of months. The balancing payment will be in June with the target of making sure everybody will get into the normal way of going and will receive their payments at the end of this year for 2024.
