Eamon Ryan: Farmers right across the country, under that new programme, will have a critical role. There is a range of new, closer-to-nature agroforestry solutions which we have not delivered in the last 90 years of forestation.

Eamon Ryan: Part of that change will be a change to Coillte. It needs to change. It has done a brilliant job but it was legislated for in the late 1980s when the emphasis and focus was on privatisation and commercial lumber production. That has changed.

Eamon Ryan: Be very careful not to categorise a target as a limit on ambition. Of course, we want to smash those targets. All of us in this House want our younger people to be able to get a home and raise a family. This concern is not an exclusive commodity. It belongs to everyone. We are committed to doing everything we can. We had a target last year of 24,600 houses. An hour ago, the CSO came...
