I also have a brief question. We are after covering a lot of ground and getting away from the main point anyway. I understand that there is a crop called camelina which is viable in Ireland. I understand that it is not really that well grown but I believe it can be used for aircraft fuel. Could that possibility be developed further? I understand it is a very good break crop.
