Before Mr. Hayes answers, I say in support of Deputy Kehoe that targets for afforestation are part of the programme for Government. We are roughly meeting only 20% of those targets now. It is a serious issue. I welcome the Department's target for 4,500 licences this year and we will monitor that closely. Deputy Kehoe raised afforestation. Will Mr. Hayes give as concise answer as he can because many other members are looking to come in?
