I want to explore the issue of traceability a little further. There has been huge fallout from this "RTÉ Investigates" programme. Europol joined a European meeting, co-ordinating international elements of an investigation. Dutch authorities issued a serious warning through the European Commission's rapid alert system for food and feed. There have been huge implications across Europe and huge reputational damage to the Irish food system and what we have worked so hard to achieve in respect of standards and traceability. Does Mr. Gleeson accept the "RTÉ Investigates" figure of 20,000 horses disappearing from the system each year?
