Mr. Denis Drennan:

That is exactly the way we are going. Ireland is in trouble for not having the fourth river basin management plan up and running where they were supposed to do a catchment-by-catchment assessment. They have been reprimanded by the EU on this.

On Senator Paul Daly's point that the processors have as much lose here, he would want to think whose money is invested in the processors. We are ending up now, not only with the farmers making huge investments on their farms but the processors investing farmers' money in doing what they are doing. There is a double-whammy here for the farmer. Not alone will they end up having to pay for the investments on their own farm from fewer cows or fewer animals, whatever the sector they are in, but they will also have to pay for a few white elephants because the processing capacity will not be needed. We will end up with some of the processing facilities closing down but they still have to be paid for. That will still have to come out of a smaller milk pool. Certainly, that is what we are looking for. What we need is what Glanbia is looking for. Glanbia is seeing that. The Slaney is one of the most polluted rivers in the country, yet there is only 6% of the land in the catchment of the Slaney being used for dairying.
