Jackie Cahill: Regarding the sale of Ballymartle Woods, Coillte is a semi-State company, so I do not expect the Minister of State to comment. It is a matter for Coillte. It is fine to ask questions of Coillte about this matter, but I do not expect the Minister of State to pass comment on this issue.
