Is it not the case that the study showed there were significant cost implications in regard to conventional growers? Why was an evaluation of the economic impact on the marketing of Irish food abroad on the basis of being GM-free or of going down the route of importing and using GM crops or import feed not considered? Is this not the fundamental issue that must be answered in respect of GM crops in Ireland from an economic perspective?
