I thank Dr. Cullen for her interesting presentation. From a communications point of view as much as anything else, the NHF seems to do excellent and important work. Does its work cross over with the work of other agencies? In a way, Senator O'Neill stole my question when he asked about how the NHF links with State agencies, and safefood forms part of this industry.

I am trying to understand the NHF's background. Dr. Cullen stated that it does not get involved in lobbying. For example, the issue of cheese was considered recently by the Broadcasting Authority of Ireland, BAI. Was the NHF involved?
