As Deputy Ó Broin said, we have 2030-2050 targets. I believe we will double our roundwood output in the next 15 to 20 years. We have a home-grown sustainable material. For the State to pony up €50,000, if you will forgive me for putting it like that, it does not seem like a lot of money for it to invest into its future. It could be done that way.

Whichever State arm decides to take on that role, we will get there anyway. As Mr. O'Connor said, if there are demonstrator buildings like Avondale and others, it promotes what we have to offer.
