I went to a meeting hosted by the local division of An Garda Síochána in my constituency where there was a presentation introducing the CESAR marking procedure and the equipment being employed. I have seen it in operation and I know how it works. Does Mr. Sherlock have an idea of the uptake? Is the ICSA encouraging farmers to use this company and mark and register their property? In my view it is a no-brainer. Any valuable equipment on a farm or in the farmyard should have the coded number impressed on it. Is this system being embraced or is there resistance to it? Will Mr. Sherlock tell us what he knows to be the case?
