In regard to the strategy, we are in the process of continuing to engage with different stakeholders. My Department has had bilaterals with nearly every stakeholder who wants to engage with that process. We have engaged with Irish Rural Link which has communicated with communities. Behaviour & Attitudes conducted a survey on public attitudes to forestry. We are in the process of having a public consultation, which is open until the end of April. We also have a type of mini citizens' assembly on forestry in May, where we will have a deliberative dialogue over it. We are doing everything we can to bring as many people on board, to help us as a State to decide what we as a nation want from forestry. We absolutely need a commercial forestry sector. It is essential, particularly when you look at why it was set up initially. It was for remote rural areas that needed jobs. It has served that end. We need to make sure that continues. There was another point. Will the Deputy remind me?
