Mr. Brendan Gleeson:

First, I accept that there is a real problem with forestry licensing. The Deputy will be aware of the background to that. It just has not happened as a result of dramatic changes in the way we have to do things.

I do not accept that the prices are getting worse. On our output now, we have really put tremendous resources into this. We have established a project that will look at a variety of things, including getting rid of the backlog, processes and procedures, and developing new vision for forestry.
