Vol. 314 No. 7

Written Answers. - Westmeath Timber Sale.

281.

asked the Minister for Fisheries and Forestry if he is aware that timber is being sold from Barronstown Forest, County Westmeath and local people are being denied an opportunity of purchasing this timber and if he will make a statement on the matter.

I have made inquiries in this matter and understand that there have been no recent sales of timber at the Barronstown property of Lough Owel forest. I can find no evidence to support the suggestion that local people are being denied an opportunity of purchasing timber at Lough Owel forest.

If, however, the Deputy has details of a particular complaint I will have the matter examined further.
