I thank Deputy Flanagan. I suspect he has just coined a new phrase that will probably be picked up by others. I ask the witnesses to clarify a point for me. I understand that 47% of the forest estate is now privately owned. The witnesses have said that the Coillte supply accounts for 80% of the raw materials for Irish saw mills. Is it the case that the privately owned forest has not reached maturity yet? If that is the case, what is the projected time line for that forest estate to come on stream? I ask the witnesses to respond now to what was quite a wide range of questions.
