Annual Report 2012: Discussion with Coillte

Mr. Gerry Egan:
We provide the information. It is in accordance with international conventions. This is the way it is done internationally. Second, our system of selling timber goes back to an agreement we made with the Irish Timber Council, which represents the sawmillers, in 1996. Everything we do in terms of how we sell our timber, how it is put up for auction and how the reserve price is calculated all flow back to the agreement made then with the sawmill sector.
