I pay tribute to Denis Brosnan, to Hugh Friel who succeeded him and to Stan McCarthy, who is doing a wonderful job at present. Moreover, I greatly welcome that further dilution in co-operative shares in the Kerry Group from 17% to approximately 13%, as well as the boost for the farmers of County Kerry, the south and nationwide because of what they are suffering due to the fodder crisis and the many other things they must face at present. I also salute a development which is good for the Irish economy, namely, the recently announced expansion in Glanbia. Perhaps in time it will become another Kerry Group, and I say "well done".
