Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine
Forestry Sector: Discussion (Resumed)
Mr. Brendan Gleeson:
I went down and met the forestry inspectorate just before the summer. I found staff there to be really tuned in, highly engaged and really sensitive to the concerns of industry. What we have there is a really strong resource and we must encourage them and assist them in what they do. There are imperfections in the system and there are differences from licence application to licence application. We manage all that as best we can and we have the same systems as anybody else for managing people and managing output.
