Is Mr. Moloney saying that the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine does not have an opinion on the regulatory issues? The issue has gone as far as the European Court of Justice, which made a ruling that suggests we are wrong in this regard. The Department of Health may be appealing that. Does the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine not have an opinion on that? Does it simply let the Department of Health deal with this and say that whatever happens happens, even though there is an acknowledgement that this could be an important income stream for farmers and could play a positive role in agricultural emissions?
