There is now a voting block in the Dáil, so it is appropriate we have reached the end of our questions. I thank Ms Jupp for attending and, on behalf of the committee, I wish her well in her role. Coillte has an important part to play in reaching our emissions targets and so on, as well as in providing timber for our timber industry. Deputy Fitzmaurice complimented the Coillte staff and I have to concur, as I said earlier. I have a very good relationship with the local Coillte staff and I find that even the higher executive always responds and is helpful in trying to get problems sorted out and to get solutions to them.

The next public meeting of the committee will be engagement with officials from the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine on further scrutiny of the COM (2023) 770, the proposal on the protection of animals during transport.
