I would like to see the task force up and running. It is the forum where all the issues can be raised and it is entirely regrettable that that was not enabled by the actions of a minority of people who stepped clearly outside the normal parameters of engagement yesterday. That is something I think all right-minded people would condemn and I hope that is a position Deputy Stanley shares in terms of the appropriate prosecution of what might be legitimate points of view.

I am not aware of the ownership structure of C&D Foods and how that relates to ABP, Mr. Goodman or anybody else, but I am aware of the injunctions that exist. As I said, we have engaged in my Department in an effort to dismantle that but it has to be acknowledged that it is a legal entity outside of the remit of MII. My Department does not have the leverage that has been alleged in order to be able to wave these away. That is an issue for the company itself.
