I am sorry to have to cut Mr. McAuley short but I wish to give Mr. Gowran ample time to make his statement and take questions from the members. I thank Mr. Mc Auley and Mr. O'Brien for their contributions. They saw, in light of the extensive number of questions, that there is huge concern among the members about where the forestry industry is at present.

I invite Mr. Gowran, CEO of Woodlands of Ireland, to make his opening statement. Sorry, we cannot hear Mr. Gowran.
