Much of what I had intended to ask about has been covered, so I will not take long. On expanding the representation to reflect fully the farming community, will Mr. Moloney give a commitment that IFFPG will engage with the other farming representative bodies and invite them to put forward a representative to sit on the board?

On the Walker Recycling Services issue, I accept that formal notification was not issued until 4 June, but it is quite possible that there was some indicative conversation on 16 May. Did IFFPG seek legal advice before it had any conversation with or issued that letter to Walker Recycling Services? Given that it had operated with IFFPG for 15 years, the latter is probably its main contractor. There is an implicit and implied contract with the company that would leave IFFPG open, in all likelihood, to having to compensate it for the termination of the contract. Did IFFPG seek legal advice before it made that decision?
