Three ports are being used at the moment for the timber that comes in: two in Cork - in Rushbrooke and in Passage West - and one in Wexford. I was not aware timber was coming in to County Clare until a while ago. Do we have an understanding of the number of staff the Department has put on site to look at the consignments coming in? Could Mr. Gorman give me an understanding of the process undertaken by the Department to ensure biosecurity measures are taken on site?
