Challenges for the Forestry Sector: Discussion (Resumed)

Mr. Joe Gowran:

Woodlands of Ireland is part funded by the forest service, the National Parks and Wildlife Service and the Heritage Council. We would be of the view that native species will grow on most of the forest sites and that it would be better if the bulk of forestry here was based on native species. Have I answered the Deputy's question?
