Mr. Bill Stanley:

In terms of future events, the committee heard from representatives of the IFA in an earlier session and we have commenced a very detailed and active engagement with that organisation. We have had confirmation from both sides that the engagement has been thorough, constructive and genuine. The IFA has recognised a real commitment from Coillte to work with it to resolve these issues. We have drawn up an inventory of the issues and are in the process of drawing up detailed responses to eight or nine such issues. A witness on behalf of the IFA earlier called it an FAQ, which is a good way to view it although I would see it as much stronger than that. It will highlight some of the issues that are appearing at different parts of the partnership portfolio. However, our intention would be to propose a certain course of action, seek the input of the IFA in that regard and then jointly agree a response.
