First, it is interesting to hear from the witnesses' presentation and the history of Bord na Móna the opportunities that can be available to the State with regard to good semi-State companies that focus on particular areas. It is something positive and there is a need in this State for more focus on the opportunities provided by a semi-State for investment and development. The second positive issue is the opportunities that are available within the green economy, which appear to be a focus on the part of Bord na Móna. What are the vitals of Bord na Móna at present? Mr. Quinn told members about its turnover, its expected turnover and its employment levels. Can the witnesses identify the vitals in respect of profitability, any dividend that is passed on to the State, the balance sheet, etc.?
