Mr. Brendan Crosse:

Farmers are aware of what is happening in New Zealand. It is the largest farming sector by farmer numbers, including the beef sector. There are large dry stock farmers there. A total of 2.7 million breeding ewes in the Republic of Ireland with another one million in Northern Ireland so there is a huge potential farming base. There are 100,000 beef and sheep farmers in this country. We can get them on board.
