That was, unfortunately, the answer that I expected. Mr. Moore mentioned the woodland environmental scheme, where private companies pay landowners an additional €1,000 per hectare to plant native trees. About 22% of the afforestation that took place last year was from that, so it is sizable. What proportion of the outstanding licence backlog is made up of woodland environmental fund applicants?
