Many members are indicating they wish to ask questions. There has been a series of meetings and I note one part of the opening statement, which is that Coillte only has 16% of its timber licensed and available for next year, with a further €2.3 cu. m of additional material needed to be licensed by the Department before the end of this year. In order to achieve this, the current licensing system rate needs to be almost trebled. I underlined those points when the witness was speaking.
