I will follow up briefly on one of the points Deputy Healy-Rae raised about the standards of production elsewhere compared to the standards Irish tillage farmers have to meet to produce their grain. Is any measure made of this to see how much of a disadvantage Irish tillage farmers are at per tonne as opposed to the same tonne of product coming in from elsewhere? Is there any kind of measure of what kind of disadvantage they would be at? What would be the difference between a tonne from South America or North America to one here in the Republic?
