With due respect, it would have been no harm to go to the people who buy and eat the beef. That was not done, however. That is it. I will move on.

I have a question regarding the information in the report on offal and the price of carcases. Mr. Dowling stated clearly that Grant Thornton was able to get the facts here in Ireland. Is it the case, however, that some retailers and processors did not co-operate in giving Grant Thornton information on overseas exports?
