What Mr. Kelly mentioned is worth noting. He is correct in what he says about the Burren project and that has been very successful. However, at the beginning of that, it was not working with the farmers but talking to them. When the farmers took it by the scruff of the neck, it was they who made a success of the project and not the experts. The farmers in the Burren should take a salute for what they did and what has been achieved. As Mr. Kelly said, it is being rolled out everywhere now.
