I thank the witnesses for coming in and I have listened with interest so far. To be honest, I am concerned by some of the comments made. On the 58 additional failures we had in 2021, and I am aware of the comment regarding finishing the year strongly, these were serious failures. As Irish people, we have pride in how green the grass is and how clean the water is. This is one of the reasons we are so famous around the world. In this context, we are looking at how we compare with other European countries and what I am hearing is that we are at the bottom of the table and that we are not performing. Is this an accurate assessment of where we are?
