I do not have very many questions because some of the areas have been covered already, but I have serious concerns as others do as to what is being proposed. I would like to welcome the witnesses today. I also have serious concerns about the financial implications for the landowners. Have the organisations been consulted on how this will impact on the stakeholders? Has an economic impact assessment been done on how much it will cost the farmer? It is the farmer who is going to suffer. Maybe the ICSA, the IFA or one of the other organisations might be able to answer those questions.
