Does Mr. Murphy agree that partnerships are under pressure? At the moment, one can get €5,200 for average blends. When one looks at the Coillte figures, which I do not dispute, the land is there but one has to go on and plant it after that. After 30 or 35 years, one has to plant it but one gets nothing. Does Mr. Murphy think partnerships are under pressure when one looks at the figures he has given on the 40 ha? It is not attractive to do it anymore.
