Mr. Cormac Healy:

No. Were Bord Bia before the committee, it would go through Origin Green. Origin Green tries to pull together all of the bits that the whole Irish agrifood sector is working on to improve its sustainability and its environmental position, be that at farm level through the quality assurance scheme and the measurement of carbon or at processor level in terms of what processors are doing.

Regarding someone being prosecuted under an EPA licence or the like, issues have arisen - unfortunately, it will probably happen again - where plants have exceeded a limit. Some of the more recent issues have related to noise pollution. Unfortunately, many of our plants are close to built-up areas and towns. It is important that this be clear. Recently, the EPA published a priority list of sites, and some of the agrifood companies that appeared on it did so over noise or odour issues, not necessarily something being released into water systems or the like.
