Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine
Forestry Sector: Discussion (Resumed)
Mr. Brendan Gleeson:
That is a factor, but it is also the truth that forestry is a relatively profitable activity for drystock farmers that can co-exist with their drystock enterprises. There is a very significant degree of negativity around the sector at present, certainly, to a significant extent caused by the licensing issue, but that is not the only reason. We have to work together to build back confidence in the system.
