I thank Ms Gray for her opening statement and wish her well in her new role. She referred to the impact a hard Brexit would have. Could she talk a little more about the impact it will have on those who depend on Coillte for their income streams? What plans does Coillte have in respect of better transparency, communication and consultation with communities, particularly in terms of its relationship with private developers? How does Coillte plan to maintain positive relationships with communities in order that they benefit most from Coillte? That could be in terms of afforestation or in terms of Coillte's decisions to sell off land or give it away for a nominal price. I am thinking of what Coillte gave away in the context of the Corrib gas project and the small returns we have for that now. How does Coillte examine all that in respect of the public good? I also would be grateful if Ms Gray could talk a bit more about the flood mitigation projects and how that is measured.
