Possibly. That one is important from the strategic point of view of the entire forestry sector. It relates to the private afforestation programme that we are talking about. Approximately 6,000 ha or 6,500 ha of private estate will be planted this year. Replanting continues mainly on Coillte lands as clear-fell occurs.
We will seek to clarify when it will be published. The Deputy has probably tabled a parliamentary question - I am sure somebody has - on when that review is due to be published. It would be helpful to our overall considerations of where to proceed next. It is very important in that regard.
