My third point concerns the national interest regarding cattle exports, which have been frozen. Jobbers, dealers and exporters are walking away from marts. The reason is fairly fundamental and understandable: lack of promotional opportunities. There is a huge disparity between the promotional opportunities available to those in the Department of Agriculture and Food next door to this building and those available in Castlebar, Galway, Limerick and Kerry. Within the offices there also are huge anomalies regarding such opportunities. In Castlebar, staff upstairs are on a ratio of one staff officer to seven. Downstairs it is one staff officer to 14.
