Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine

Maximising the Usage and Potential of Land: Coillte

12:00 pm

Mr. Gerry Britchfield:

I shall answer the questions in the order they were asked, beginning with those of Deputy Barry. With regard to the RHI, we would be more than happy to provide the Deputy with a copy of the presentation we made to the Department of Communications, Energy and Natural Resources. We believe there is a pretty compelling case for introducing an RHI to encourage bioenergy use in Ireland.

With regard to the storms and the damage to our estate, I will hand over to Mr. Gerard Murphy, who will say little about this.
