I thank the witnesses for coming in. I will ask few quick-fire questions. Would they accept that people who own land have a right to decide what to do with it?

They referred to Leitrim County Council. I know of Galway County Council. I am sure the witnesses are aware of it but you can put a set-back distance in a county development plan, as is being done in Galway at the moment, in regard to forestry with submissions if councillors are in favour of it. Are they aware of that?
