Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine

Forestry Sector: Discussion (Resumed)

Mr. Brendan Gleeson:

First, we are trying to develop a system here that works smoothly but it is not a production line. This is not the Ford factory where we are able to punch out these licences month by month. It is true that we have not met our targets for ecology - I am not sure that those targets are realistic - but we have increased our licensing substantially. What we know now is that we have a licensing system that is capable of delivering more than 100 licences a month. That is a significant advance.
