Turning to the representatives from Teagasc, data and research are very much missing and needed for the sector, and Teagasc does very valuable work in the work it has undertaken and the reports it produces regarding input costs, which is important. Nevertheless, the data and research aspect is one of the strategic actions and there is a lot more work to be done on that. Organisations and groups that have appeared before the committee have told us they have a lot of data on dairy and beef but not on horticulture. What are the witnesses' views on that? How can we progress in implementing that key action from the report?
