Trevor Sargent
Question:140 Mr. Sargent asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and Forestry if his attention has been drawn to the fears of the community who live next to the Portumna Forest Park, County Galway, regarding clear-felling of the mature forest; if his attention has further been drawn to the fact that this group have asked Coillte Teoranta for assurance that corridors of trees remain so as to allow for some habitat for wildlife and to prevent a moonscape like aftermath which typifies areas which have been harvested.
