I have a few more questions. With regard to below-cost selling, the witnesses are probably aware of this because we saw it a lot, particularly through the agrifood regulator and the debate on the legislation that went through the Dáil. The Minister was very strong and clear and he repeatedly made the point that below-cost selling was in place before and it was discontinued for a reason, and nobody could tell him how it would work or show him an example of how it could work of where it worked well. He has said repeatedly that it is unworkable. Can the witnesses comment on how they see that working? I think it has a part to play but there is definitely resistance. The witnesses might speak to that point.
