Ms Tara McCarthy:

I will start with Senator Michelle Mulherin's questions. We were not invited to present at the Citizens' Assembly. The views expressed are the result of the process the citizens involved in it went through. Our perspective is that they will feed into policy discussions. We would have had many other comments to add from the perspective of Origin Green which was not deeply discussed at any stage. At a similar time, we undertook, independently of the Citizens' Assembly, a campaign in order that the public in Ireland would be aware of what was going on in the context of Origin Green. We invited people to learn more about the campaign and the work being doing by the food industry by visiting the Origin Green website. It was viewed as a successful campaign in generating a strong level of awareness among the public. However, we recognise that more work has to be done in order that the general public will be aware of the work being done in this space in agriculture.

I ask Mr. Maloney to address the matter of animal feed.
