I have one final question. Looking at the pesticide and designation side of the proposal large swathes of land from the top of County Donegal down to the bottom of County Kerry and out beyond the River Shannon could be affected. Does Teagasc have any concern about the wording of the proposals in relation to pesticides? The term "sensitive areas", could refer to a province or half a country. There does not seem to be anything put into it.
