I am sorry for being persistent on this. The question that must be asked and answered is whether or not Coillte can directly draw down grants and premiums that it was previously precluded from doing so as a result of the state aid rules? The state aid rules changed on 1 January after a very lengthy consultation process. Has anybody asked for independent advice or have we asked the Commission directly whether or not the new state aid rules allow Coillte to draw down funds directly?
