To be fair to the industry, it never was going as well as in the last few years. There were a lot of difficulties but we must be fair as well. Our competitors are doing very well abroad and at home. There were many problems. It is not many years ago that we were not qualifying for anything or doing anything. There is no doubt that the standard has risen so we must compliment the Department for that. It is not all bad news.
