Mr. Robert Watts:
If commercial semi-State companies plan to conduct transactions above a certain value they require the approval of the relevant line Minister and the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform. They also require approval for significant disposals or significant changes in their balance sheets. I am not aware of a significant change in Coillte's balance sheet in the past two years.
