Gabhaim buíochas leis an Teachta Cahill as an gceist seo a ardú. First, the deer management report, which was led by Mr. Teddy Cashman, was a really excellent piece of work. The Minister, Deputy Charlie McConalogue, and I have been working on this. We have implemented some of the short-term measures already. I am reaching out to the Minister, Deputy McConalogue, to meet to discuss this further to look at the short-term, medium-term and long-term objectives of it. It is resource intensive. It will require a significant amount of resources across the State to try to bring down the number of deer across the country to manageable levels for woodland management, road safety and sustainable agriculture.
