I will come to the legislation on retail, specifically, shortly. If we could turn very quickly to the horticulture sector, we have met with many of the producers and we are deeply concerned about the challenges that are there. Growing Media Ireland, GMI, would have circulated us with a snapshot of where it sees the sector at the moment in terms of the Government’s guidelines and the definition of the sub-30 ha rule. There is a view that if it were to be clarified, in the sense that the 30 ha were set aside, anything above that could be left over to environmentally appropriate works. Is that in line with the IFA’s view on that sector at the moment?
