In that case, I will go on to land and land values. I thank the witnesses for coming and welcome the opportunity to speak to them. The appendix contains a list of land and buildings controlled or managed by the Department. Some of them have valuations, while others do not. Teagasc produced an interesting report today about the land market and the outlook for land prices generally across the country. In that context, I am interested in the Department's land holdings. What does the Department hold? What is the valuation on its land? Has the Department engaged with the Land Development Agency, LDA? Is the Department's property predominantly land or buildings? Is it close to towns or not? I ask for a profile of the Department's lands.
