Mr. Tim Cullinan:

I thank the Deputy for the question. We all agree the technology works. That has been long established now. My role is representing farmers and I have said consistently this morning that food security is what is very important at the moment. Obviously, if this is going to reduce emissions it is very welcome as well. We take the environmental challenge very seriously within our organisation and our members do as well. There was a direct question there about boosting the herd or maintaining the herd. We are not discussing the herd here at all. What we have been working on consistently is the amount of methane emissions we have to deal with. We have a roadmap on that. Farmers have done a substantial amount of work already in dealing with the emissions. They are willing to do a lot more. As I already said, the science is evolving and that is very important. That is our clear view on the emissions.
