Mr. Andy Doyle:

The industry has been working for some time, through research, to get a handle on the carbon footprint of the Irish grain sector. We have never known what it is was. We expected it was reasonable and we have actually found out, through work done by Teagasc, that it is very good. We hope that if we can stamp-verify any tonne of grain entering the feed sector for the livestock sector, it will add to its authenticity as an Irish product. As we stand, we have just under 2 million tonnes and it is mixed with 5 million tonnes of imported feed. We are a little bit suspect in terms of authenticity if push comes to shove.
