Does Mr. Gleeson accept that this data could be used by beef processors to manage and control supply and demand within the beef sector? I am asking these questions in light of the stresses on the beef sector due to the world as it is now as well as Brexit. We have heard people speak about the €100 million for beef. We are putting in money to help our farmers but sometimes there are other ways of doing it. I will try to hammer down the question. Does Mr. Gleeson accept that this data could be used or is being used by beef processors to manage the supply chain? They know what is coming on track in terms of what is coming into their factories to be killed. It is a yes-no answer.
