In fairness, on the cattle side of it the veterinary practice is good and I must compliment the Department.

I want to ask Mr. Smyth about what I have said already about the traceability of these horses. Is he prepared to drive this on with the rest of his team to make sure this is delivered rapidly in the next six to eight months? My understanding, and everything I have researched and learned from talking to people, is that basically we have the model and everything in place and all we have to do is move it across the table and get the horses' side of it up and running for the traceability and for all the other advantages we have with the cattle.
