Lastly, I would be grateful if Mr. Kelly wanted to elaborate on the negotiations at the European level and how Ireland could play a more constructive role in relation to that. Mr. Kelly also mentioned that Coillte should have a more active role in relation to nature restoration and carbon storage. Mr. Kelly also commented on the biodiversity links and the choices to make sure we make the biodiversity-rich choices versus solely carbon choices.
