I can see that is what the Minister of State is doing but I do not believe it is sustainable - to use that term - because Coillte is so dominant in this area. It is not possible to talk about having sustainable forest practice if Coillte is not in the frame and we do not really know what it is doing. I believe the Minister of State has got it the wrong way around. The rumour now is that the Bord na Móna merger will not proceed, which would be a positive thing.
