Mr. Francis O'Donnell:

Dr. Gallagher covered the OPW aspect. It is important to note there are other important actors as well, such as Coillte, which we have been working with at a high level to look at the landholding it has, barriers on its property when it fells trees within catchments and the replanting of those trees to try to insulate ourselves for the future in terms of planting broadleaf much more widely than it normally would have been.

We are getting there. People are starting to realise, whether it the OPW, Coillte or anyone else, that while they obviously have to make money, they also have to be environmentally conscious. We are working with them to try and progress that.
