Having heard the observations about the breakdown of trust, no trust and the lack of trust, and given the three big issues involving the policy review group, the forestry Bill and the merger of Bord na Móna and Coillte, my view is that it will be very difficult to make any progress because there is a lack of trust on the other side also. We have a serious dilemma in that unless there is a rebuilding of that trust, we could talk ourselves around about any aspect of it. No trust means nothing can happen. It is very serious.
