With no disrespect, what the witness appears to be saying is that if it is that good, and presumably if Coillte is getting into the market, private individuals will want to get into the market. One would have to ask why then one pays forestry premium because it would appear to be a profitable business without the premium. There is a flaw in the logic, therefore, and I think we will have to discuss it on another day.
