Mr. Brendan Gleeson:

I do not know whether that is correct. I neither accept nor reject it. I can say that the traceability system in Ireland was compliant with EU rules and there are clearly trans-European issues in the context of the traceability system. Some of the events shown in the programme took place in other member states. It is clear that, despite having a system that complies with EU rules, if people are determined to circumvent it, they can. It therefore needs that root-and-branch review. I absolutely accept that.
