Senator Callanan raised the issue of land use and an energy policy and referred in particular to the possibilities for alternative energy use. I strongly support such moves. A co-operative in Bandon, in west Cork, is to the forefront in developing alternative energy uses, particularly green energy sources. There is a great opportunity for that and there will be a further opportunity with the natural resource of forestry coming within the remit of the Department of Agriculture and Food because that is an ideal land use activity. I would like to think I would be able to inject some dynamism into that area of activity because with decoupling and further land becoming available for use as a forestry resource, and the combination of forestry and the rural environment protection scheme, a synergy exists of which we can make good use over the coming years.
