Unfortunately, that is the problem. It is not in Stormont, and the Minister is not in too much of a harmonising form either. Do the witnesses see a route by which we can address it? I am from County Monaghan, and this is an issue. We can talk about all the protections that are in place or whatever is the case. It will not be Monaghan farmers, by the way, and I wish to clarify that. However, there is going to be an issue. It is one of the first things that jumps out at anybody who has looked at this. Even vets will say that when one speaks to them privately.

Does Mr. Doyle see a route by which we can put in place a mechanism to ensure we have an all-Ireland position?
