I will touch briefly on the fertiliser register. Again, this is probably more pointed in terms of a North-South divergence. We will have a system whereby everybody in this State has to register fertiliser purchases but the merchants north of the Border, to use that term, will not be aligned to that system. There can be benign reasons for people making purchases in the North or wherever the case may be. Does Teagasc have a view on whether this is a pointless exercise, as has been suggested to the committee previously, if we do not have that North-South alignment?
