Mr. Richard O'Connor:

Another point I would like to make is that we need to think about this from a national perspective as well. Consider our forestry.

More than 80% of our forestry is Sitka spruce. The vast majority of the material that is treated through our business and through other treaters in Ireland is based on Sitka spruce and it is for stakes and strainers. The data the chemical companies have been using so far is only based on Scots pine. One of the things we have been trying to do over the past 18 months to two years is to understand Scots pine, Sitka spruce and Douglas fir, which is the other significant material used in Ireland, particularly for strainers which are a key part of a fence. Without a strainer properly in place, a fence will not work.
