Mr. Francie Gorman:

There will not be an impact if the review is done in a timely fashion. We believe there is enough of a timber supply in the country to keep the construction industry functioning in an orderly fashion. At the end of the day, this temporary suspension must take place and the review must be done in a timely fashion.

We cannot end up in a situation in four, five or ten years we have similar to ash dieback. This is shattering farmers' confidence in policy in the forestry sector. It is something that has to be addressed. This is our answer to it. I have not seen a better answer to it. The risk posed to the forestry sector by this is so great that if it is not done in a timely and immediate fashion, we will pay for it for decades to come.
