We are not questioning that. I just wanted to express the frustration that is there. I want to go back to forestry for a minute. It was said that forestry is the third biggest contributor. When land is planted, the gate is closed for the next 20 years and no on goes near it. Is there something that can be done by Coillte or by private landowners to stop this? It is not coming from chemical nitrogen because there is a spit sprayed when it is planted. After that, no fertilizer is put on forestry. If it is the third largest contributor, is there something that can be done at forestry or farm level to improve the run-off from forestry?
