The official name of the new office will be An Rialálaí Agraibhia. That is the official name in the Bill but we use the word "regulator" to refer to it in the Bill. As Deputy Carthy knows, the feedback from the farming bodies is that the word "regulator" better reflects what we are doing with the Bill and I accept that. There is no doubt that the official name in the legislation is An Rialálaí Agraibhia. We are very clear about that, but I am minded to stick to the word "regulator" to refer to it throughout the Bill.
