What Dr. McGoff has to say is interesting in the context of the measures farmers are taking. They may believe they are doing something to mitigate against the impact of nitrogen, but what they are doing is having an impact on the other two influencers. This is probably a worst-case scenario for An Taisce, but it is a hypothetical question: if Dr. McGoff was not with An Taisce but rather with the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine, what measures would she put in place-----
