Forestry is one of the only natural resource sectors without a development agency. Some would say that Coillte is a sort-of development agency. I know how people might be confused at that, but Coillte is not the development agency for forestry. We do not have a forestry development agency which is extraordinary for such a land mass and such a resource which has potential for further massive expansion. I would like to hear the Ms Hurley's views on a national forestry development agency.
