We will say no more about it for now.

My next question is also for Joe. We are very formal here; we have to say Mr. This and Mr. That, but I would prefer to say Joe. It is about the excellent point he made about the White Paper on energy. He outlined a number of issues in respect of the crowd-funding legislation. I really appreciated his focus on local communities and farmers availing of access to funding for renewables. One of the issues for me when I look at wind farms throughout the country is that there are a lot of industry insiders and people who made a fortune from the new buzz that was renewable energy and wind farms. Communities could have benefited from them. If local communities could have seen a financial return from the investment in wind farms, we would not see anything near the level of opposition we see. That was a really strong point and I would like to hear more about the IFA's engagement with the Department of Communications, Climate Action and Environment and the Minister, Deputy Denis Naughten, in that regard.

My final question is for Pat from the ICMSA. It was an excellent presentation in which a really strong point was made about how we exported 90% of our beef. Whenever we look at the level of greenhouse gases or carbon emissions, surely we should spread that information to consumer countries. It was a logical point. Has the ICMSA had any engagement with Ministers in Ireland or anyone at European level to discuss this proposition and, if so, what responses were given?
