I welcome our guests and apologise at the outset - there were three votes in the Seanad so I missed a large part of the contributions. If I mention anything that has already been dealt with, please do not hesitate to let me know. I can go back on the transcript and look at the previous answers. I heard the debate on labour, which was on my list. Following from what the witness said about crop treatment, does Mr. Farrell ever consider the gene editing road in that regard or CRISPR/Cas9, as opposed to using herbicides or pesticides? As opposed to genetically modified, gene editing is a big debate in Europe at the moment.
