Mr. Aidan O'Driscoll:
There is a difficulty in that a good deal of evidence shows the conventional tag to be more secure. We get about 4% tag losses of conventional tags and about 8% losses from tissue tags. A difficulty arises when there is a tissue tag in both ears. We must ask if it significantly reduces the reliability of the system.
