The Deputy is painting a picture of a very onerous task that we are saying very clearly is not. To say very clearly back to the Deputy, the farmer only needs to register once. I know many farmers who go on the agfood.iesystem to mark a range of different things, whether it is to click in for schemes or going online to register the movement of cattle. People have cattle going in and out of their holdings all the time. Farmers have shown themselves to be very capable of doing that. This is a once-off process that is a tick-the-box on that system.
