Mr. Simon White:

Thank you, a Chathaoirligh. I will say before we finish that we as an organisation represent all sections of tree growing and forestry. We have had to devote an enormous amount of time to this because there was a void for anybody working with ash dieback. We do not want to do this but we have to do it. We are under pressure from our members, quite rightly, who say we have to represent them on everything. We do not want to keep coming back to the committee and we desperately want this dealt with. We will keep doing this as best we can but we are limited in what we can do. We are incredibly grateful to you and your committee for continuing to listen to us. It gives us and the next generations hope. We can do it; it can be done.
