Ms Niamh Lenehan:

In response to the Deputy's question as regards setting out on this historic journey, it is about trust. The involvement of the whole agrifood supply chain is a key principle in how this is going to work. There are different actors required to make the whole thing work. If one of the links is gone, it is no longer a chain. As Mr. Healy has said, one of the important things is building that trust across the sector and with all the different businesses operating in it. They must trust us. The Deputy made reference to producers or farmers. They must trust that they can come forward with any issues or complaints about unfair trading practices.

The other thing is transparency, which Mr. Healy has mentioned, and being able to gather those facts and that evidence to enable producers and farmers to make better decisions. I should not have said "better decisions". It is about informing their decisions about their businesses. That is what we are here to do.
