I have a couple of questions focusing on forestry. Under the current CAP, what sort of funding has Ireland received to support forestry and diversification through forestry? In terms of the new CAP and the second pillar, is there any evidence that Ireland is gearing up to avail of what may be improved measures? If not, what should we be doing now to ensure we can maximise income and support for farmers who want to diversify into forestry?
