I thank Mr. Price. I am interested in his views on those. He cited the difference between Ireland's and Denmark's approaches over the past number of decades. Perhaps he could elaborate on that. I think he said that Denmark maintains protein output, while not increasing either emissions or fertiliser use. I do not quite recall which of the two it was. Could Mr. Price speak more about the comparison between Ireland and Denmark, as well as on what we can learn from Denmark that might help us to have a truly sustainable sector? I take his overarching point about numbers, which is well-articulated in his statement.
