That is a very passionate defence, I must say, with my tongue in my cheek. I again apologise if any of these questions have already been answered. I heard Mr. Flynn answer a previous question about slurry storage and the proposal in the draft for enclosure. I am not an expert in any of these areas and I am relying very much on the feedback I received to the consultation. It has been repeatedly raised that a requirement for slurry storage can result in increased temperatures within the storage itself creating additional bacterial activity thereby yielding higher emissions. Has that been factored into the Department's considerations of that proposal in the draft paper?
