Would Mr. Gleeson feel - we would have talked to Mr. Hayes and Mr. Dunne about this previously - that the senior inspector has no choice now but to screen things? An ecologist has certain degrees or letters after his or her name that can stand up in court. Does Mr. Gleeson feel that there is a fear among his senior inspectors to screen anything out and does he fear that because of the unenviable situation that they are in, many of his inspectors would have lost confidence in senior management because of what has gone on in the forestry sector over the past number of years?
