I have three questions. One of them goes back to rhododendrons in Killarney National Park. As somebody who participated in the clearance for years, in respect of the current scheme, is the NPWS working in the areas that ground work had previously maintained clear, which are the most valuable woodlands in the national park? My understanding is that while we were there, we worked in those very inaccessible areas and were not taking jobs from anybody. Contractors were employed to do the roadside or more accessible areas. Is the NPWS going into those areas that had been maintained clear for 20 years by ground work?
