Deputy Carthy raised one of my issues. I raised another issue earlier but I do not think it was answered. Have Bord na Móna or the Department given any indication that they will set up local working groups? It seems from this meeting and from all the reports that everybody is in agreement that setting up local working groups is the way to take this forward. Have Bord na Móna or the Department at any stage given an indication they will do that to keep local farmers involved? This will ensure that we are not back in six or 12 months' time saying that there is no communication with the Department.
