I apologise for having to leave the meeting to vote in the Seanad. However, I heard most of the presentations.

One of the targets of Food Harvest 2020 is to produce an extra 2.75 billion litres of milk, which is a 50% increase in production. Mr. Healy said that because of the constraints of the quota regime our milk production is now below the EU average. How many more dairy cows will be needed to produce the extra 2.75 billion litres of milk? Could I have an answer to that question before I ask the next one?
