It was suggested by the foresters that the equivalent of a Bord Bia for forestry be set up and it was also intimated that this would not cost much, possibly nothing because there are already people in the forestry and milling sectors who would be only too delighted to come on board. It would pull everything together in the way a county development board does. The right hand would always know what the left hand was doing. Could that idea be pushed?
