I apologise for my lateness. I have some brief questions. I have read the Food and Agricultural Policy Research Institute, FAPRI, model outlined by Teagasc and questioned members of the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine who appeared before the committee on it. A representative of Teagasc may have been present. The model is quite bleak in terms of what we are trying to achieve across all of the scenarios that have been mentioned and the mitigation measures. Where is Ireland on the graph referred to by Mr. Donnellan? Towards the conclusion of his statement he outlined that there is mitigation potential but it is only on paper. What substantive action is being taken in that regard? Are any mitigation measures being taken in an attempt to reduce the curve that he outlined? The FAPRI model is quite bleak when one takes the entire sector into account.
