Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine

Forest Strategy Implementation Plan: Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine

Mr. Barry Delany:

I completely agree. That is the point in terms of we are trying to reach out beyond forestry advisers to deal with agriculture advisers such as the Agriculture Consultants Association and the Teagasc non-forestry advisers as well. All of the knowledge transfer group, KTG, schemes now are obliged to have an element of forestry in them under the new CAP strategic plan, CSP. They are obliged to have a module on forestry.
