Basically, with regard to the development of this crop, we are in a vicious cycle between the two Departments. Is there an appetite within the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine to try to right that wrong? I would call it a wrong. There is no point doing feasibility studies and consultation processes as we know the outcome at this stage. Is there an appetite within the Department to overcome this major problem and at least talk to the Department of Health?
