I cannot argue with the Deputy’s debate because it is well founded. The Minister, Deputy Patrick O'Donovan, explained to me that, in his constituency, he had many situations where there were ash trees that had died on the side of the road. When the affected farmers go about knocking those trees, it is dangerous if it is on the roadside. We come back to farm safety, due diligence and people being careful about what they are doing. If they bring in a professional contractor to remove those trees, large sums of money are involved, and I appreciate that. The Deputy is asking me a factual question and wants a factual answer. At present, is there a scheme in place for roadsides on its own? There is not.
