I thank the Minister. The only request I would make is for face-to-face meetings with the families and the officials. I welcome the fact that the Minister wants to meet the families on the second occasion. The Minister has shown leadership across the State, visiting every mart in every county. The Minister knows the issues on the ground. My point is that there is a human side to the impact and that the officials would have face-to-face meetings with the families to understand the issues that I have heard about. That would be very welcome. I compliment the Minister. The second meeting is in place and progress has been made. I thank the Minister for his leadership on the issue.
