Regarding subhead C5 covering the Health and Safety Authority, I have considerable sympathy for it because it does a very good job in regard to farm safety but it is a very difficult area. Is there any financial contribution from the Department Agriculture, Food and the Marine towards its work or has the Minister any idea what that Department invests in health and safety initiatives? Farm safety is a major problem and it is a difficult one to crack. The HSA has been trying to do so for many years but last year's figures were horrendous.
