That would be really useful as a longitudinal study because, as Mr. Malone said, the societal impact is going to be huge.

I have a specific question on farming. County Kilkenny is a very diverse and rich agricultural area. Given how complex farming has become, with much reliance on mapping and data relating to water quality, carbon monitoring and so on, is NBI seeing a significant uptake among farmers, and is there support from the main farm organisations? We met Teagasc this morning on farm advisory services. Is there a plan in place to ensure greater uptake among farmers?
