I thank Mr. Callanan. Before I call members, I will ask two or three questions briefly. Mr. Callanan stated "It is stipulated that pesticides should not be used in areas used by the public unless a risk assessment has shown that their use is necessary and appropriate risk management measures have been put in place" Does the Department have enough resources to check and enforce this?
