The Co-Chair, Deputy Cahill, knows more about this than I do, but this could be equated to genetics, the Irish Cattle Breeding Federation, ICBF, how we managed to gather all those data together to change the measurement, and how we then had a bovine animal that could produce more. On the idea of harvesting and collecting data and having a central body that controls those data so the whole thing works better, there is probably a lot of work to be done by the Department around where these data are, how we can equate them, who has access to them and how the technology can be manufactured to tie in a product that can help the system, from spreading fertiliser to the harvesting of silage to the actual growing of grass.
