It is not one of the major costs. The farmer I mentioned from Bennett's Bridge in County Kilkenny who has lost ten acres will not become a millionaire. Any inference from anyone in this Chamber or outside it that he will find himself with bags of money because of this is simply incorrect.

However, there are those in Dublin and other cities who have made substantial amounts of money. I accept the recommendation is broadly worded.
