I read recently about, and Mr. Roche made a presentation to us recently on, the New Zealand situation. The Irish Dairy Board figures on increased production are definitely correct but, despite the profitability, the amount of income generated has not increased in New Zealand. It is something we need to be wary about in that we may increase production but it is not necessarily going to generate more money. That seems to be the situation in New Zealand, or is that correct?
