Yes, and if we are to take the truly sustainable approach, it might make far more sense to use the lower quality timber in the appropriate circumstance. I am referring to the Irish timber, which is certainly different to the Scandinavian product.

I do not have any more questions. Do our guests have any more comments? Do our members have any other questions? If not, we will finish up there. I thank you all for coming in this afternoon. It has been a really interesting session that will help us to form a report with recommendations for Government. The engagements we have had today, the witnesses’ opening statements and the other sessions we have had on the circular economy will all feed into a report by this committee, which the secretariat will prepare. We as members will agree on it. If the guests have anything to add, and if, for example, they walk out of this room, have their lunch and think of something that was not said and that is important, they should please feel free to send it in to us.
