I am very impressed by today's presentation. I have followed Coillte for a long time. I studied horticulture. I am quite impressed by its website which I looked at earlier. Ms Hurley and Mr. Carlin are wonderful ambassadors for their sector. Coillte is in a good place with people like them in leadership positions. The Chairman is not here at the moment. With a committee that deals with agriculture, food and the marine it is always helpful to get outside the bubble of Leinster House occasionally and we should do so sometime next year. I have been to a forest in Glencullen where there is a very impressive cycle way and adventure trail. Such things develop for Coillte the allies it needs. I wish Coillte well with its work. Sometime in the new year perhaps in the spring it would be great to go on-site to meet some Coillte staff and see some of its forestry projects. I wish Ms Hurley and Mr. Carlin well and thank them for appearing before the committee.
