Dr. Shane McCarthy:

I understand fully the question the Deputy is asking. I greatly appreciate the question, however, I have not been involved in the board up to date. I consider it a key part of the role of the chair of a board to ensure practices and producers are followed efficiently.

I have no difficulty in committing to returning here in six months' or one year's time to discuss where the needs for further efficiencies are and where further resources could best be allocated. However, if the question relates to the current practice, I have no problem in handing it over to either Treasa or Michael.
