Mr. John Kinnane:

Many of those suggestions should be taken on board. For example, the format we have was driven by the fact that last year was the first in which the document was published. Over time, we need to set out trends for the report. The challenge, as the Deputy correctly said, is to try to include more meaningful information while ensuring the report is accessible. With a quick read-through, one should be able to get a very good insight as to what is being delivered.

We could consider whether it is possible, if not in individual chapters but perhaps towards the front, to deal with some of the big issues relating to programme for Government commitments. Perhaps it could be addressed in the overview section. Certainly, as we move forward we need to include more information on targets and trends. We need to do this in a way that makes the report accessible. The likelihood is the report next year will look different, given that we will have three years of information for many of the metrics. Some of the metrics this year are not directly comparable with the metrics last year and there was much work done to try to refine some of those metrics. They are all issues that are well worth addressing and we will look at them. I cannot answer about the trees.
