I thank Ms Jany-Roskova for coming. As she pointed out, we have some producer groups in Ireland. Why have producer groups in Ireland not been successful? Particularly in the beef sector, the groups that they have gone to would not recognise them or work with them. Obviously, a producer group would be more interested in someone who had 1,000 lambs than someone who had one lamb. It has not been accepted or it has not worked in this country. Why is that the case?
