Mr. Padraig Brennan:

To close off on this, we challenge ourselves on what we do in Bord Bia to see how we can deliver the best value for money through our activities. We will be only too happy to be part of any broader discussion that would take place on this matter. To answer the question on whether we participate in the beef forum, we have done so from its very outset and we continue to do so. Our role is very much to be the market voice in the discussions that take place at the beef forum regarding the trends, dynamics and changes we see in the market and what we feel are the important points the industry needs to consider and where it needs to agree a strategy. This is the one and only role we have at the beef forum and we have been doing it since its foundation a number of years ago.
