I wish to come in on that and perhaps address Teagasc. Its role is to do the research and take us from a place where there is, it probably wrong to say a vague understanding, but not an exact understanding of where our emissions are. Is Teagasc’s role also, in the next phase, to advise Government? There is a policy advice side to Teagasc as well. Am I correct in saying that? We will move from land use review phase one, which is doing the numbers, to phase two, which is figuring out what to do and the policy instruments and measures. I do not expect Teagasc representatives to say what those measures can or should be at this point; I just wish to ask them whether Teagasc has a central role in that part of it.
