Mr. Nolan spoke of the 30 km rule. Senator Paul Daly mentioned this. There is a problem and there is no point in my hiding behind it. There can be people 100 miles away taking land to cover them for nitrates. We have to talk openly about it. How will that be resolved? There will not be people spreading slurry on the side of a mountain, to be blunt, and not all mountains are commonage.
