This is fine. When it comes to mastitis, the quicker you can get a treatment into an animal, the chance of recovery is far better. From an animal welfare point of view, time is of the essence. If you are milking cows and you see a cow with mastitis, time is of the essence. The quicker you can get a tube into the cow the better the chance of recovery. Where you are rearing calves you will have a situation where there is pneumonia or scour and you will need to get treatment in quickly. I am glad that has been recognised. That is important.

The next speaker is Senator Paul Daly. He will be followed by Deputy Carthy.
