I appreciate that a good chunk of time was taken up yesterday with statements on what the Minister has done to support and assist farmers given the very difficult weather conditions of the past few months. I want to ask specifically about the €100 per hectare payment that he announced for the tillage and horticulture sectors. When will we have more detail on this? Could he advise us on how he came up with the figure of €100 and whom it was agreed with? Who did the Minister hold discussions with to arrive at the figure?
