This brings me to a point I have made repeatedly in the House. The dairy industry, the wider agricultural community, Teagasc and the research centres must bring forward the required solutions in terms of the need to change production and processing to a lower cost base. While I am prepared to accept that Teagasc has to make cuts because of its financial position, in every circumstance the emphasis must be on closing its offices in towns, while retaining its staff performing basic research rural research centres. Technology has diminished the need for farmers to visit Teagasc offices in towns, which farmers try to avoid in any case because of congestion and so forth. It is of fundamental importance that the basic research required to modify the industry and enable it to develop in the way it should is carried out.
