Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 6 July 2004
99 Mr. Sargent asked the Minister for Agriculture and Food if he will publish a notice of the consultation period for the review of Irish forestry on his Department’s website, including the full terms of reference; the closing date for submissions; and the reason for the failure of the Forest Service to do so to date. [20253/04]
View answerPeter Bacon & Associates, economic consultants, is conducting a review of the Irish forest strategy. On 22 April its terms of reference were posted on my Depar'ment's website and can be found in the forest service section. The consultants shall present their final report to me by September. Press and individual notices on the review were also issued. On 7 April the consultants held an open and widely advertised briefing session in Tullamore. They will accept submissions and no closing date has been set.
