Mr. Pat McCormack:

In an ideal scenario, we would see the ASSAP programme rolled out nationally. That was a huge success. People known to individual farmers in those catchment areas came to them, whether they were co-op or local farm advisory personnel, and helped them in a proactive way. Very often, a very small thing, such as replacement of gutters and downpipes, can have a critical impact on a farm's ability to store slurry, for example. Those farms that could be causing issues may potentially be due to a very small thing. A similar programme to ASSAP, if not ASSAP itself, rolled out nationally, may significantly deliver for farmers in a proactive and gentle manner.
