I'm going to ask you about Cardigan and the breaches that were well reported there. So, my question is this, to try and get underneath it: when were those first reported to you, and what action have you taken, not only just then, but going forward?

You said that you all work together. How often do you all meet together as a collective—all people concerned with this? And I'd like to add, do you ever have any discussions with construction and water run-off?

I cover Cardigan. I've lived there, know it well. So, I'm particularly interested in when the site's permit breaches were first reported to NRW and the action that was taken by yourselves and NRW.

Questions to the Minister for Rural Affairs and North Wales, and Trefnydd
I thank you for that answer, Minister. It's nearly 20 years since the UK Labour Government banned fox hunting, but all the evidence suggests that some hunts circumvent the law behind the smokescreen of trail hunting. Because of this loophole, chief…

And, of course, urology affects men perhaps disproportionately at a certain age, but it also affects women equally throughout their lives, so it does link into that diagnostics. This is where they really marry together. So, I'm assuming, having seen this…
