Mr. Barry Delany:

There has been some discussion on that. It is a policy issue here and I would prefer if the Deputy addressed that question to the Minister as it is not really for me to answer or to give my own opinion on that. All I would say is that currently we have launched a €1.3 million promotion programme where people have received money to promote the forestry sector for afforestation and the use of timber. The Minister has set up a timber workforce for this timber construction. On an agency, I will leave that question to my higher authority.
