Can I answer Senator Collins in a very practical way? If a person has a hectare of ground that has ash dieback on it, if it is idle right now and if there is a pot of €10,000 available to use in some shape or fashion to clear it, plant it and then have money for themselves out of it that would be tax-free, it would be awfully negative for that person to decide to continue to leave the land idle. Anything that is idle is good for nobody.
