I thank Dr. Farrell for notifying us of that event. We will circulate the details and encourage all members to attend if they can.

We are out of time. I was going to ask Mr. Purser about the economic gap between clear-fell forestry and continuous cover. If he has information or analysis of the economic gap that exists, perhaps he could forward it to us. I am mindful that the Joint Committee on Agriculture and the Marine deals regularly with forestry. I am unsure if Mr. Purser has had the opportunity to appear before that committee. Perhaps we could try to arrange that. I could speak to the Chairman of that committee if Mr. Purser has not done so.

I thank our witnesses for their contributions and opening statements. As I said, they were most informative. The answers were fantastic. It has been a remarkably engaging session. My thanks to members of the committee for their good questions, as always. I reckon we are the most switched-on committee in the Oireachtas at the moment. I know members are working hard and I thank them for that.
