Mr. Patrick Lalor:

Perhaps but I am certainly not aware of it. My final point, which was raised earlier, concerns biodiversity. Last year somebody from BirdWatch Ireland came down to do a survey of the amount of birds they could identify on my farm. They counted over 30 different species of songbirds in the month of June. I asked whether that figure was good, bad or indifferent. He said that it was not a Guinness Book of Records statistic, but was about three times the number he would expect to get on a conventional farm.
