Coillte's Annual Report for 2016 and Climate Change: Discussion

4:00 pm

Mr. Fergal Leamy:

In the past two years, we introduced a contract system whereby the price of the contract is related to the end market price that our customers will get in the UK. That is for 50% of our materials. It will depend ultimately on what that product is sold for in the UK. There is more we can do with transparency of prices and giving people a sense as to what they can expect. We are working on publishing more of the prices we get to ensure people understand it.
