Mr. John Coleman:

I think there is. They try to balance that with their own operational requirements. On the manner in which we engage with the landowning bodies, we know everyone in the landowning bodies and engage with them regularly. The relationship is collegiate and collaborative but obviously, we are pushing to get these lands released as that is what we are all about. It is not just us knocking on the door and hoping for the good will of the landowning body as there is also a forum chaired by the Department of the Taoiseach that monitors progress in this regard and that also exerts pressure on different Departments and line departments in relation to these various landowning bodies to work with us. To answer the Senator's question, I believe these landowning bodies do feel pressure to try to do as much as they possibly can do with us. We are making some progress in that respect. It is in the country's interest and everyone's interest that we try and yield as much as we can without unduly upsetting other essential services. I will ask Ms Lawson, who engages directly with the landowning bodies and the Department of the Taoiseach on this matter, to add further colour to that.
