Mr. John Joe Fitzpatrick:

It is not a pipe dream. If we were to meet people with that attitude, we would not get far. We were up in Backweston and we met with officials from the Department's AIM division. They were very much in favour of it. They said they would move it on to the next level. We have been in contact with our counterparts in France who said they might try to push it from that side, even as recently as this morning. We have been in contact with the calf registration service in Clonakilty. It also said it would be very interested.
