Nobody wants that. I acknowledge where Senator Lombard is coming from, given that he is from a big dairy area. When a previous Minister, Deputy Coveney, rightly lifted the cap, many dairy herds expanded massively. I know this. I used to work down in Cork. I know a lot of the dairy farmers. We have to be careful. I agree with Senator Lombard that we have challenges. I am not going to deny that. However, there is no plan. I certainly would not be supportive of culling cows. I think the majority of the Irish people, whether they are in farming or not, do not want to see that happen. By all means, I would go along with what Senator Lombard says because I would welcome more answers and more clarification.
