Dr. Paul Corkery:
As I said, we are working with the authorities in the North to ensure that does not happen. We have our own traceability system, our usage requirements and recording requirements. We also have our Bord Bia quality assurance inspections to make sure. In addition, we have residue checks. There are very serious consequences for a farmer found to have any of those residues. We regularly check those randomly on farm, at slaughter plants and where we have any suspicion of illegal activity.
