I was on the board when Bord Bia was first floated and I thought the budget being allocated was madness at the time, I must admit. I must also admit I was wrong. It has been a tremendous success and has gone from strength to strength. It is definitely a great showcase for Irish horticulture and Irish food.

Before we finish, I wish to ask a question. We are still testing for BSE in fallen animals. The outbreak of BSE occurred in 1996, over a generation ago. Is there still a need for continued monitoring of fallen animals?
