I must interrupt at this point to welcome to the Visitors Gallery Ms Mary McDonagh and her fellow senior executives from Ifac, which is a friend of the farming community and an integral part of rural Ireland. It provides an enormously professional service to our farmers and a support to our rural communities and, by extension, our small urban societies around the country. They are an appropriate delegation in the present context. They are accompanied by our distinguished and esteemed colleague, Senator Ahearn. I welcome Ms McDonagh and her colleagues.

I call Senator Hackett.
