I thank the officials for attending this afternoon. I am very conscious that at the heart of everything here – involving the Department, merchants and veterinary side – is the farmer at home. I am thinking of the farmer at home, and that is where my questions are coming from. In all of this, was any thought at all given to the potential significant inconvenience for your normal, ordinary farmer in rural Ireland?
