I thank the gentlemen for their presentation. I apologise as I had to step out for a few minutes. I hope I do not ask questions that have been asked previously. Towards the end of his presentation, Mr. Britchfield referred to sustainable value for sustainable living. Mindful of the area of renewables, has Coillte undertaken a cost-benefit analysis of the use of the wood by-product in its manufacturing of panel production compared with its use in the generation of renewable energy? The climate change strategy is becoming more and more prevalent. Has Coillte developed its own climate change strategy regarding land use and forestry in conjunction with the national climate change strategy?
