It is a ten-year programme. After that, the native woodland is a permanent fixture; it will not be moved at any level. I think the barrier for many of these schemes is fear that one cannot go to another farming enterprise at another time. The barrier I come across seems to be that internal fear within the community and how we deal with it and work with that issue. I ask Mr. Gleeson’s view of that issue. Does he think we need to, in many ways, look at the permanent fixture issue with regard even to schemes involving native trees?
