Willie Penrose
Ceist:106 Mr. Penrose asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and Forestry in view of the significant emphasis placed on the forestry sector to create employment in the natural resource area and in view of the capital OSB joint venture with Coillte Teoranta in particular, if his attention has been drawn to the necessity of having the harvesting infrastructure in place to service the proposed expansion with timber; if his attention has been further drawn to the fact that this cannot take place until the forestry operation programme is introduced; and if he will give a specific date by which this programme will be introduced.
