Ms Meabh Gallagher:
We can follow up with additional detail on the assumptions for those scenarios. In addition to the agricultural scenarios I just went through, in terms of land use and forestry, there are two key scenarios informing the proposal. Both assume a more sustainable management with longer rotations and continuous forest cover but with a continuation of the current policy target of 8,000 ha per year and then more ambitious afforestation.
