The industry estimates that the economic loss in the context of Food Harvest 2020, with multipliers and so on included, is €1.3 billion. It is devastating. There have been a number of references to the Minister and the Department engaging with stakeholders. Is the Minister willing to meet industry representatives, including the IFA, for example, to facilitate that? It is important that they are able to tell the Minister what they think the potential of the industry is and what they are asking for.
