Mr. Gerard Murphy:

I can only comment on Coillte's point of view but we treat that very seriously. We moved a number of years ago to legal loading. One could argue we should anyway. We have a very strict policy of legal loading. We also have designated haulage routes to ensure we only do it over certain roads. We also apply the councils' weight limits in certain areas where we may have to do double handling. It is something we have been working successfully on for the council over the past 20 years. I accept it is an issue and has continued to be an issue over the years.
