I want to also ask about herbicide intolerance under this technology, which is a frightening thought for some. In many ways, I can see the benefits of controlling herbicides and it is clearly better than spraying all the bits and pieces. Will Dr. Doyle Prestwich explain that technology because there are people listening in here and those who will be looking at “Oireachtas Report” tonight and saying this is very interesting. Herbicide intolerance is bred into many crops under this technology. It is used in other places in the world, so we know it works. Can she explain some of that technology, how it works and how it all happens, in very simple language, if possible?
