With the best will in the world, Teagasc could be doing the greatest work. I am not questioning that. I am trying to establish who contacts Teagasc in regard to research on this or that. Is that done by the EPA, the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine or the Department of Health? Is Teagasc asked to carry out research over, say, a two-year period, and to feed all of that information back to the relevant agency or Department or does Teagasc simply publish that work in a journal and hope that everyone looks at it?
