Mr. Mark Carlin:

We are trying to strike a balance. There are fertile areas of the country that will grow commercial forest. We are competing for such areas with other forms of agriculture. There is ground that is less suitable for commercial forest that could still grow forestry, and it is those areas that we need to work in. That is what Coillte is trying to do. We are trying to take a lead in that with the Department and Bord na Móna because those are areas where we can create new forests. They will not be commercial forests but they will be very valuable for the State and from a biodiversity and climate point of view. We are not saying we are moving away from the commercial model. We still want to grow our portfolio in terms of commercial forestry, grow timber revenues, expand the industry and create new jobs. The issue is one of striking a balance between those various areas.
