No problem.

From my perspective, we are not at the start of this process. We are getting into the meat of it and now it is time for the sector to respond appropriately to the measures that Government is proposing to introduce, including targets. I wanted to also briefly touch upon whether, as a professor of European agricultural policy, Professor Matthews would accept as factual or otherwise the statement that Ireland has a unique agricultural sector in the context of targets and whether that statement holds any water in his opinion.
