I have a question that may have been asked while I was away from the room. This committee visited the UCD Lyons Farm a while ago. I was impressed with the grass research that was going on there and the different forms of forage production rather than grass. There were different varieties of clover and multispecies swards. Do Teagasc and the universities agree a programme so that there will not be duplication of research? Obviously Moorepark and different research stations for Teagasc would be doing different trials. I thought there would be greater similarity between what I was seeing in the UCD Lyons Farm and what Moorepark and Teagasc would be doing.
