I welcome the representatives from EASYFIX. As a farmer, I want to get my heard around this technology to figure out how it works. Deputy Fitzmaurice has covered much of that. To follow on from that, the witnesses spoke about their research and science and referred to Holland. In that vein, how widespread is this technology in other European countries? I am referring to the slurry aeration technology as opposed to the rubber mats. How well acknowledged is it by the respective governments or departments of those countries where it is used? Are there countries where having a slurry management system in place secures carbon credits for farms in those jurisdictions? I will start off with those points.
