The decision referred to by the Deputy is a private commercial one for the company concerned and one in which I have no role. In relation to their decision to use imported malt, I understand that the company continues to source 90 per cent of their malt requirement for their brewing operation in Ireland and that their commitment in this regard is unchanged.
