Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine

Forestry Policy and Strategy (Resumed): Discussion

Mr. Mike Glennon:

Barring radical change to our mindset and approach, we will not have a chance in hell. Scotland's rate is up to 12,000 ha and heading towards 15,000 ha. Therefore, it is possible with everyone rowing in the right direction. If we work on the basis that the best predictor of the future is the past, we see we are in serious trouble.
