I want to talk about the Agri-Food Regulator. One of the key tasks for it is that there is a significant mark-up on the price of beef in supermarkets. The farmer keeps the animal for over three years, or thereabouts. He receives €7.50 per kilo. Supermarkets at the moment are selling at a price in the region of €23 per kilo. What role does the Agri-Food Regulator have in respect of identifying the significant mark-up and producing data or a report in respect of the profits taken from a slice of that particular pie?
