Particularly that area where Deputy Kerrane and me attended that meeting first of all, which covers Rooskey and Kilglass, and then countrywide - it nearly covers the area down to Strokestown.
It covers the whole area and there is a big problem there, but this will fester in other places as well. It is not only Coillte; there is private forestry as well. This will have to be a policy the Department will have to bring in. I thank Ms Jupp for saying she will get looking at it.
