Vote 30 - Agriculture, Food and the Marine

Mr. Brendan Gleeson:

Maybe I am answering this inadequately. All I can say is that we established a formal process here with a unit and an assessment of what the priorities should be in how to rank and where to start with this project. This was the ranking that we came up with. Most assets are fully depreciated in any event and are beyond the depreciation date from a value and accountancy point of view.
