Mr. Seamus Dunne:

As the Cathaoirleach knows, we have not been issuing afforestation road licences this year but we have been issuing felling licences. The time has been coming down. The last 100 licences issued were issued in nine months, on average. We are not there yet with regard to having all licences issued within nine months, but approximately half of them are issued in less than nine months. It would have been well over a year-----
