Mr. Paul McKiernan:

Deputy Catherine Murphy mentioned the recent EPA figures. That is a forecast, a view of how the EPA sees things now. It is a different forecast from last year and will probably be slightly different next year. Nevertheless the message is there and we know there is a challenge. The Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine, and all the stakeholders are aware that there is a real challenge for Irish agriculture to ensure that achieving the targets in FH2020 is done with the lowest possible carbon footprint. On the Deputy's specific questions on forestry, I will ask Mr. Hendrick to reply, and Mr. Muldowney wants to speak a little on that challenge of the EPA figures.
