First, I apologise for being so late. It was due to an unavoidable commitment that I had earlier. I do not really know what has been covered and I apologise if I am repeating what has been said.
One of the matters that interested me most was the development of the Burren lamb and beef brands under European Union special areas of origin. How much success has BFCP had with that? How difficult has it been? Is it overly restrictive? Is there anything to be gained from it, particularly cent per kilo, or is there any other measure of it? Can one go to any abattoir or is it confined to a certain number?
