That is fine. Can the Minister of State not see the negative messages that are going out? She did not even answer me about the 21,500 ha taking 8 million tonnes of carbon dioxide out, while at the same time, there is the peat end of it. Some 21,500 ha being planted is down to a Department of this Government. It has been the problem. However, at the same time, this same Government is bringing in taxes on ordinary families and small people.
