Just a quick one. In his opening statement, the Minister mentioned looking at ways to re-engage farmers so that they see forestry not as a displacement but as being complementary to their farming enterprise. Could the Minister give us an idea of what he has in mind there?

On the TAMS payment. I note the Minister is seeking to use the €3.3 million in savings from the 2021 allocation to fund expenditure elsewhere. Does the Minister have any initiatives in mind, in particular, for that €3.3 million? I am not sure whether the Minister outlined that earlier. If he did, I apologise.
