Let me assure the witnesses that the only interest of investment or vulture funds is profit. They are not worried about the additional sources we need in this country. I will leave it at that. The question has been asked. However, I can assure our guests that we will be back in a couple of years' time when we have a shortage of local foresters and small farmers who have been driven out of it. That is what will happen; I guarantee it. Have those involved given any indication of how much land they intend to purchase to reach the Coillte targets?
