One of the issues that came up several times during the conversation was in regard to Irish food and Irish labelling of Irish food. The whiskeys, the beers and all of that sector is obviously one of them where we have a lot of grain going in. There is also, obviously, the feed we have going into our animals producing our milk and beef. In regard to all that, is any work being done on what amount of input should be Irish going into something if it is going to be called Irish? That is a question that I think is key to all this. If we do not get to that aspect, then we are going to let everything down.
