Mr. John Comer:

I respect that, a Chathaoirligh. I have just two more quick points. With regard to commitments given at the beef forum, some of them are still outstanding. I believe they need to be put under the microscope again and delivered on. We have a comprehensive pre-budget submission document for budget 2017 that can be made available, but there is one primary focus that I would like to home in on today.

That is the farm management deposit scheme. I believe it is the most pragmatic and practical tool that can be put at the disposal of farmers to mitigate against the volatility. I have outlined that before to others.

I move on to my final point, Chairman. It is critical that we work on this. It might be a long-term goal but we have been hearing about it for the last ten or 12 years. We need to bring some balance back to the supply chain and the power of the multiples. We need to legislate for transparency of margin because voluntary codes are pretty much useless. I have no problem saying that. I would rather not finish on that note but I will out of respect for the Chairman.
