Ms Bernie Gray:

On behalf of Coillte, I thank the committee for the discussion today. We were delighted to take the opportunity to discuss matters further with members. We will, of course, follow up as quickly as we can with the committee in terms of a number of areas that were identified, including the issue of state aid and access to premiums.

I would also like to invite the committee to attend a site visit with us in one of our forests in order that members can see the issues about biodiversity in practice on the ground and some of the challenges we face. It can be at a location of their choosing. I know members from County Roscommon will put a bid in for it.
