I am not going to take up any more time because I want to let other members speak. There are all the points put down that the witnesses have agreed on and after that we will talk as a committee. We are not going to be making the law. There is no point codding the witnesses. We can put report together as a committee and give it to the Department. The Cathaoirleach will hand in the report to the Minister. That is how it works. We are not going to tell the witnesses that we will guarantee everything they have brought up today. With the help of our Chair and secretariat, we will bring in the Minister and his officials on this. All of the ideas raised are common sense; they are not over the top. The interesting point we should include is the one on the Animal Health and Welfare Act.
