It is in all of the sectors. In Connemara at present it is nearly impossible to get books. We are constantly getting emails about different problems in different parts. The Minister knows my views on the books. In fairness, the Department is able to hammer out 1.5 million or more cattle books without a bit of bother, efficiently and quickly. I understand DNA must be checked but I am speaking in general. There are always problems. Is there anyone who can crack the whip and get it into line? People pulling at each other is not a good thing. If everyone was going in the one direction, there would be more success.
