Mr. Michael Cronin:

As a group we work very well together. It was collaborative. On the real difficulty, at the very start, we looked at the Australian and New Zealand models. That came up a lot during our discussions. There were a number of things like capitalisation and the risk-based trading that we just could not get across the line over last four to five years. They were the two main ones. There was also the period of deer restriction. Those two or three points were difficult to get across. They are central, from what I understand happened in New Zealand and Australia, to a good TB programme. This is one that we found difficult. Other than that, the rest was a very useful exercise for the industry, for farmers, and for everybody involved. Those three were difficult, however.
