We had a detailed discussion earlier on mapping procedures. Is Ms McGrath confident that we are making the best use of modern technology, such as drones, in mapping and assessing areas? The methodology in terms of these processes appears to be very slow. In regard to the pilot projects, were new technologies trialled that might lead to more efficient processes? Perhaps Ms McGrath would detail what new technology was utilised in the context of the pilot projects and what technology is being used in regard to the CFRAM, the processes of which appear to be slow.
