Can I stop Professor Boyle there? A better way for me to deal with this may be to pursue it afterwards and talk to the Teagasc officials because I will run out of time. I have not used up my time but I am conscious that two more speakers are due to contribute.

The perception on the ground from people in some rural areas is that they are being forgotten, and I wonder whether Teagasc could take a proactive approach towards that. I may come back to that because I want to deal with a number of practical things along with climate change. I am looking at the mitigation plan and I am heartened by what Professor Boyle said about the trajectory of dairy farming being contradictory to the aims that we need to meet under climate change. Is that correct?
