Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine

Farm Foresty Partnership Agreements: Discussion

3:30 pm

Mr. Pat Collins:

I wish to raise one point. Seemingly, Galway and Kilkenny were the main attractions for the contracts. There are a number of contracts in these areas. There was a huge targeting of them because they were deemed to have very productive ground for timber production. That is what I have been led to believe - that there was huge significance in Galway out of the Mountbellew office, as well as the Kilkenny office.
