In 1984 two foresters attended a training course in the operation of timber harvesting machines at a British Forestry Commission training centre in Scotland. No foresters attended courses in Scotland in 1985 nor in 1986. The officers in question attended these courses in preparation for the setting up of a similar training centre at Mountrath, County Laois. This centre is now in operation.
