I will ask a few questions. Witnesses will forgive me if they come across as remedial. I wish to get to the root of some of this. How bad are we in Ireland in on the issues the witnesses are talking about? How do we fare? That is the first question. Perhaps the witnesses could answer them one by one because they are quite disparate. How bad are we compared with other countries? Are we at the bottom of the pile or in the middle when it comes to the preservation of our land and environment?
