I have one quick question because I know the Chair is under pressure with this session. In terms of the timelines, there are terrible delays. It is causing considerable frustration to the industry and to landowners who are also tied up in this debacle. What is the appropriate timeline that a licence should be issued in? Has Coillte any thoughts on that? Being realistic, what should that timeline be?
