I thank the witnesses for coming in and for their opening statements. All the questions have been asked, so I wish to focus on two areas. When it comes to the market, we have talked a lot about imports and exports. I wish to speak a little bit about sheep imports - live sheep and carcases that are being imported. What is happening when they go to the processors? We need greater transparency in all of that in respect of traceability and labelling. I think there are many questions out there on sheepmeat, lambs and lamb carcases imported into Ireland. What are the most up-to-date figures the witnesses have on imports? Why, at those levels, are we importing what we are importing?

I have one other question after this but I will ask this first of whosoever wishes to respond.
