Let me finish. Public land is one of those options, also the creation of native forests and one of the options it is exploring is to partner with some private investment. Coillte was stepping out what it had announced it would on how it could get to that stage. We met Coillte last week. It is our clear intention to have the State work with the company more clearly. To enable that, we will now consider all of the obstacles that may be there, if any, to enable us to work more closely with them. We know the challenges in afforestation. For example, we will explore the potential in relation to the State buying more lands.
