Mr. Michael Silke:

I thank the Chairman and members of the committee. I am chairman of the IFA's flood project team. I am accompanied by Mr. Joe Parlon, Offaly county chairman of IFA, Mr. Andrew McHugh, Longford county chairman of IFA and Mr. Gerry Gunning, executive secretary of IFA's rural development committee. The third paragraph of my presentation reads, "As a result there are no major fodder problems...". It should read, "As a result there are now major fodder problems ...". That was a misprint. There are major problems in the region.
