I thank the delegates for coming in. I will direct my question to the IFA president. I have listened to all the excellent presentations and we need time and money. What collaboration exists between all the organisations, the Government and the HSA? Are they splintered? There is no doubt from listening to delegates that they would have great power if they could all come together. Is the HSA's risk register part of all the organisations' thinking? Do they ask farmers to complete that? In regard to the Save Lives, Think Safety, Farm Safely campaign, did that involve all the organisations coming together because, as I said, it is more powerful if they act as one.
