I ask that the Department's review is analysed independently. Will Mr. Delany give us a specific timeline for the review? He will understand we are sceptical of timelines when it comes to forestry. This concerns people in County Clare who are directly affected, the wider industry and, more worryingly, the commercial sector, which is trying to plan and look at its operations. It is a concern that some of these operators are looking offshore and specifically moving to Scotland. Will Mr. Delany give a definitive date for when he will come back to us with this review?
