I have a couple of questions for the representatives of Teagasc. I attended a trial farm in my part of the country, and I am sure Dr. O.Mara knows where I am talking about. Teagasc has done a considerable amount of work, in conjunction with others, to develop a suckler-type calf from a dairy cow. Can the witnesses give us more information about that? There is a lot of discussion about the Common Agricultural Policy, CAP, at the moment. Does Teagasc have any views about which measures could be introduced in a new CAP to address climate change?
