Mr. Brian Brady:

As I mentioned earlier, we have identified in the worst affected areas the priority corridors which we want to cut. There is approximately 44 km of it. Three-quarters of that is private land and one-quarter is in Coillte lands. It is probably worth saying at this stage that they are priority corridors because there is no corridor there at all. The trees are growing up through it. The key thing we are seeking in this space is support from the landowners and the forestry owners to allow us to cut this for the reason we are cutting it, and we are providing compensation in doing so. By and large, the reception has been positive. We have secured agreement with a large number of them. The refusal rate is between 2% and 5% but there about 85% who are undecided so far among those we have contacted.
