Mr. Seamus Scallan:

People are trying to bring it into legislation. As we are an island, we should be looking to see what measures we can get so that we are able to get our calves out. As I see it, what is coming this year will have a devastating impact on the whole cattle business. All of the calves left at home will have to be reared or whatever. They will not be reared; they will be killed. We are going to have to have a big look at welfare issues and costs in respect of what is coming down the road. We are going to have a series of problems when the bad weather comes.
