I have not yet spoken and we have limited time. We must leave in a few minutes. This is, however, related to Deputy Kehoe's question. This is probably a question for Ms Garvan given her scientific background. She spoke about the medicines that are particularly affected here but will she elaborate, perhaps, on the reasons we have this increased resistance and this serious situation in which we find ourselves? I am especially interested if any of the witnesses can confirm or otherwise a correlation between farm practices, stocking rates, herd numbers and so on and this situation of increased resistance.
