Does Mr. Burke believe that ten years from now, the profile will have changed dramatically or these kinds of numbers will have continued? He mentioned that the number of registrations decreased by 45,000 last year and has decreased by 35,000 so far this year. That is a continuous trend. Is Mr. Burke afraid that if this trend continues, Bord Bia's ability to market Irish beef at the current level, with the suckler cow entity as the main focus, will be affected in a way that will have a detrimental impact on the beef industry itself?
