My specific point is that this infected farm has been selling seed to this country for five years, according to the growers to whom I have spoken. If the Minister of State cannot answer my question now perhaps he could do so later. The farmer has records of those to whom he has sold seed potatoes. We need to do everything we can to keep the disease out. The Minister of State's answer is satisfactory but is anything being done to trace the destination of product from this farm and to elicit whether there will be any infection or disease here as result of the seed bought in therefrom?
