Mr. Ruairí Cunningham:

Yes. Deputy Tom Barry referred to comments made by Ian Potter. I agree that what he said was slightly sensationalist, but it was put out there in order to show the risks. That is not what we are saying; it is what he is saying. There is probably an element of scaremongering in it, but it should be taken in the context of what others are saying that on beef and chicken blogs and so on. It all points to a potentially huge risk there to the entire agricultural export industry. It is certainly too great a risk to take for the benefit of what is a very small group of farmers. The industry is too large to make that type of risk worthy it. A significant portion of the recovery this island badly needs will be based on exports, particularly from the food industry, as has been well documented. The National Dairy Council campaign could jeopardise that and, on that basis, it is misguided and wrong.
