I have a question before calling on Dr. O'Mara and Mr. Kelly to respond. In your presentation you mentioned that the key challenges in the future are CAP reform and climate change. Climate change is probably the biggest issue in the future. What work or research has Teagasc been doing recently to educate farmers today about the requirements of the future? Regardless of whether we like it, there is no doubt that we are entering a different era from a climate change perspective and we must be ready for that as we move forward. What work has Teagasc been doing to ensure we will be ahead of the pack in that regard?
