Hopefully we do this time. I again thank the witnesses for coming. Coming back to what Deputy Carthy was speaking about, have concerns been raised about cartel-like behaviour with the CCPC? Has it been brought to the attention of the CCPC? If so, how did it act? What evidence does it require to investigate these allegations? Previously, the CCPC more or less demanded that farmers should come up with that evidence. I do not think the onus should be on the farmers, individuals or groups to find the evidence and come forward. The CCPC seems to be putting all the onus on others to come up with something that it can investigate. Have cases come before the CCPC that it has acted on and if so, how did it act on it?
