Trevor Sargent (Dublin North, Green Party)

That just relates to the business of the House. In 2003 the forestry (amendment) Bill was promised for 2004; in 2004 it was promised for 2005 and in 2005 it is now not possible to say when it will be published. I know the Taoiseach is famous for his love of forestry after his less than exhaustive look up every tree in north County Dublin. Is forestry now something of an embarrassment or will it be put back on the list of promised legislation?
