As has been said previously, confidence in the forestry sector is at an all-time low. There are so many things against it. The Minister of State will appreciate issues with land being made available, with the derogation rules, Gresham House sourcing and buying land, and another dimension in Kerry, where the national parks or environmental organisations, with approval from the Government, are in competition for land as well and have bought places in Kerry. Would the Minister of State agree that this is impacting or will impact on any planting programme?
