On the second page at the top, under the heading, "Land-use and forestry", it states "The Forestry Division of the Department of Agriculture Food and the Marine recently received sanction of €1.318 billion for the next Forestry Programme (2023-2027) from the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform." Can we ask the exact date on which this sanction was granted? Were the Departments of Public Expenditure and Reform and the Environment, Climate and Communications fully briefed? Regarding the Gresham House investment when did they come into play in this regard? Was that before or after the sanction? I am not quite sure where that is at presently.
