I compliment our guests on the quality of their presentation today. It was not formally read out but it will be in the committee's records. It is an informative piece of information. I will ask a few questions about where our guests believe Teagasc can play a role. As our guests said in their presentation, there is going to be a significant workload on advisors. Many farmers depend on advisors to do an awful lot of work, particularly in respect of online stuff. Do our guests believe there should be a more practical solution for to register for this? Perhaps it could be done as part of the single farm payment. A combined approach could be put together, rather than putting Teagasc's already stretched advisors through another line of work.
