Regarding farmers competing with forestry companies for land, will the Minister of State comment on that? Food production is a must. If marginal land comes up for sale in north Longford or Leitrim, as Deputy Kenny said, it has a value to companies for meeting their emissions but they are competing with a farmer who is producing food. I would like the Minister of State's comment on that, please.
