Indeed. In addition, we produced a report on oil and gas, the contents of which secured all-party agreement. The delegates might find it an interesting read.

It is good to know that we are in agreement on more issues than we might have expected. I assure the delegates that there was no deliberate attempt to delay their presentation or anything of that sort. We have thus far engaged mainly with the farming organisations, the Department and the MEPs. We are hoping to produce another document on the matter which will, of course, take account of the contributions today. The delegates might be interested to know that I received notice today that the IFA will hold a sustainability and carbon information day in January called Growing the Agrifood Sector Sustainably. Everybody is tuned into the importance of these issues.

I thank the delegates once again for their contributions. I hope they found the meeting as useful as I did. Members seem likewise to have found it very useful judging by the degree of their engagement. The meeting is now concluded. We will meet again on Thursday in private session to discuss the report.
