I have what is more of a general question following on from what Mr. Kinsella was saying. If anyone else wants to respond to it, they should feel free to do so. I thank the guests for all their contributions. I apologise for being late. I was in the Chamber.

Mr. Kinsella, in particular, mentioned a few of the schemes, such as ACRES, and the frustration among farmers. All around the country, including at Lough Neagh and in my county, there is a problem with effluent from domestic septic tanks going into rivers. Has Mr. Kinsella any suggestions as to how they should be streamlined? Obviously, there should be more funding and maybe more efficiency within the Department. To reduce the amount of nitrates getting into the system, are there one or two things in particular that might make a big difference?
