Okay. I thank Mr. Cronin for that response. When the initial task of the forum was brought up, three working groups were set up as part of it. There was an implementation working group, a financial working group and a scientific working group. Was consideration ever given to having a working group or something similar that might consider the mental health and anguish farmers might experience when an outbreak of TB hits their farms? It is great having financial and scientific working groups but at the heart and soul of this issue is a farm and a family and this can have a devastating impact.
