Tony Killeen (Clare, Fianna Fail)

It will. I remind the House that there is a major forestry Bill in an advanced stage of preparation. I would have preferred to consolidate all the forestry measures in one Bill but this was not possible for a variety of reasons. That is why I decided to introduce this legislation, which is concerned merely with the borrowing limit of Coillte and consolidating existing temporary borrowings as part of approved borrowings. This is a sensible approach at this time although I would have preferred to have had the more comprehensive Bill, which I hope will be ready very early in the new year.
