I remind members and witnesses to make sure their mobile phones are completely turned off. The purpose of today's meeting is to discuss the Coillte annual report for 2018. I welcome from Coillte Ms Bernie Gray, chairperson, Ms Imelda Hurley, chief executive officer, and Mr. Mark Carroll, managing director of Coillte forests. I thank the witnesses for appearing before the committee to discuss Coillte's annual report for 2018, including the overall performance, statements of strategy and corporate plans, and to brief members on progress made with farm partnerships. I congratulate Ms Hurley on her recent appointment and wish her well in her tenure. I look forward to seeing her before this committee many times in the future.
