Sale of Coillte's Harvesting Rights: Discussion (Resumed) with IMPACT

3:15 pm

Mr. Matt Staunton:

There are precedents in the commercial semi-State sector for covering a couple of churches with one agency like Coillte. For example, the Irish Aviation Authority deals with safety, air traffic control and other services so I would not necessarily suggest setting up another agency to deal with it. This brings me back to my point that this House needs to debate forestry policy and who deals with things when they go wrong. That is a fact.
