Development of the Sheep Sector: Discussion (Resumed)

Mr. Gerard O'Flynn:

The scale of the market is again a market-related question. I really would not know the scale of the market. Sheep milk is an area we do not have a lot of experience in. We have dealt with a few very small projects. To be honest I would say they are very much in the embryonic stages all the time. We certainly have applied some start-up supports to a very small number of companies. In truth, we do not really have a lot of experience there but much is dependent on supply as well. That is not an area that is particularly well-developed in Ireland at the moment, when compared to the rest of the dairy sector, bovine milk in particular.
