Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine

Forestry Sector: Discussion (Resumed)

Mr. Brendan Gleeson:

First of all, it is unacceptable that we have licences in the system that long. I absolutely accept that. One of the difficulties in dealing with a crisis is that one must do things to keep timber in the system and to keep the system moving. In a functioning system, we would have dealt with all this long ago. We have started looking back at those licences now. Mr. Hayes may wish to talk through his triage process and what he is doing on those.
