Thank you, Declan. The whole genesis of the blueprint is based on the Chief Veterinary Officer's report. Its three pillars are people, cattle and wildlife, and that is what we are seeking to pursue. In response to Brian, I set out the actions in all those areas. We have lost two years of this mandate. We obviously would like to have made a bit more progress on the issue through legislation, but we are doing all that we can, and we are working with stakeholders. I recognise its impact not just on the Department and its finances but on family farms. The report from the Andersons Centre is very useful from that perspective.
