Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine
Afforestation and the Forestry Sector: Discussion
Mr. Barry Delany:
Obviously, there has been ongoing exchange with them but we met most recently last week and we handed over draft amendments to suggest. Their legal people are looking at that and are drafting a statutory instrument. As soon as that comes back, we will inform the committee straight away. It should move reasonably quickly. It depends on the legislative burden of that Department and how they can get it through. They are very positively disposed to it at all levels and want to get it through. They see the issues that are there for us and the backlog that is occurring because of that.
