So, you're bound to be pleased with the turnout tonight?
00:04
We are massively pleased with the turnout tonight.
00:07
When we pulled this together, we were hopeful of a couple of thousand.
00:12
Six thousand is beyond our wildest dreams.
00:15
And it just shows the genuine concern farm families are feeling right round the province.
00:20
And does that give you a mandate now to go to London?
00:23
That gives us a massive mandate.
00:25
And we will be taking that to the Secretary of State tomorrow morning
00:28
and laying our case on the table.
00:31
We have 12,000 plus of petition to hand over to him.
00:37
And we have the voice of Northern Agriculture spoke loud and clear tonight.
00:42
And what will that delegation be made of tomorrow?
00:45
That's made of myself and the two deputies.
00:49
And I think it's 18 of our NextGen group.
00:55
We purposely brought them because this really does affect the NextGeneration.
01:00
And along with us is three representatives from the Young Farmers Clubs of Ulster.
01:05
So we're taking 21 people over tomorrow.
01:07
The two girls who spoke tonight got a massive response from the crowd.
01:11
They really touched the heart of the crowd.
01:15
To get that reaction from the crowd is just unbelievable for those two girls.
01:21
But they nailed it with their comments.
