I would like clarification on Bord Bia's interaction with exporters. No expert association has been set up for live exporters. I think there are 15 or 18 live exporters working at the moment. I am not sure of the precise number. Does Mr. Burke think the lack of a representative organisation as a single point of contact is an impediment to Bord Bia in its work? If such an entity were to be established, would it offer Bord Bia a better way to engage and work with live exporters?
