I want to clarify something regarding the IFA. I have already checked the Department journal and on Google. It is my understanding the IFA has also done it. I am happy coming to know that that is my understanding too so I am not relying on Mr. White's evidence, but I thank him for sharing it.

To wrap up, I do not want to be negative but I want to be honest and frank. I do not want to be back here in six months saying it is all a mess. I am not going to welcome this. It would not be the right or responsible thing for me to come in here, clap everyone on the back and say it is wonderful, because it is not. It is a major letdown, a major disappointment. It is not an adequate response but I am happy to work with people on it. If professionals in the sector and investors are happy to work with this, I wish them the best of luck and I will do everything I possibly can in this committee to support them. We are a long way off satisfaction and that is disappointing. We could have got a better deal had we pressed harder on the Minister and the Government in relation to the ash dieback.
