Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

The Deputy is trying to imply if he keeps protesting, he might stop the sale of everything. I will clarify it for the Deputy. The Government agreed a list of potential sales of State assets. Clearly the Government would need to evaluate the value and opportunity that might present itself for any of these assets, including the sale of the timber on Coillte grounds.

A great deal of work has been done by NewERA on evaluating these opportunities. It remains the position of the Government that it must consider from this menu of potential sale of State assets which would be sold, at what time, the most appropriate fashion in which to do so and how the moneys would be used for investment and job creation. This is the position. When the Government makes its formal decisions on this, the House will be informed, as will everybody else.
