Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine

Coillte CGA: Chairperson Designate

Ms Vivienne Jupp:

We definitely need timber for housing. From the 400,000 ha we have, we produce a volume of timber; I just cannot recall the number. We hope to increase that land by a quarter. That will give us a quarter extra in timber. I am not sure whether that will produce the number of houses we are targeting, but it is to be hoped the analysis has been done to assess whether that is a valid number.
