Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine
Annual Report 2012: Discussion with Coillte

Mr. Gerry Egan:
Prices are quite high and all of the sawmills are investing in modernising their plant. Clearly, from a market point of view, there is a demand and margin to be made. The big success has been that the sawmills have moved, following the collapse in the construction industry here, to a thriving export industry. One thing about a recession is that it causes people to be innovative and reach out to new markets.
