I thank Mr. O'Flynn very much. I intended to ask some questions about the sheep milk sector, but the other members have covered it fairly comprehensively. It is an area where there is potential growth. We definitely have it very much underdeveloped here. We see farmhouse cheeses have established a niche market all over the world, so there is definitely an opportunity for developing sheep milk for cheese and liquid uses.

On behalf of the committee, I thank all the witnesses for their contributions today. I thank Mr. Christal and Mr. O'Flynn for coming in.
