I welcome the delegations. My question probably relates more to the IFA and the ICMSA from a milk production perspective. We are all aware that milk output and milk processing will increase very dramatically in the short to medium term, or that is to what we aspire as a nation, and, accordingly, activity on dairy farms across the country will increase fairly dramatically. As the ICMSA delegate said, a dairy farmer is expected to milk 100 cows to be economic. Given that this is a known-known, that is, that we will have such a major increase in dairy activity, are there any safety areas we should address in the short term? Would the delegates like to make proposals in that regard?
