The Cathaoirleach is entitled to speak and I thank him for his assistance.

Arbitration is an option. It is important Mr. Anhold's clients fully understand the issues around arbitration and what one buys into and may commit to. Before the Cathaoirleach came back, I noted that counties Tipperary and Galway have the majority of the 630 groups involved in this partnership. It is interesting. I am astounded by what has happened, but there is always another side to the argument and we need to hear it. I recommend the committee engages with Coillte to see how we can tease this out. I do not like to see individuals having to go public, but they have had to and it is honourable. I do not like to see them having to come in here and set out their stall, for a company such as Coillte to deal with. It is not a good day for Coillte, from my reading of the situation, but I do not have all the facts. What, in simple terms, would Mr. Anhold like this committee to do in terms of political follow-through or with our contacts in the political forums?
