I am not seeking to have an impact on the employment created by Bord na Móna. However, the staff involved could be utilised in the wood biomass sector and the level of employment could actually increase if Bord na Móna makes the move to which I refer. As Bord na Móna and Coillte come closer together, I hope the opportunities which will arise will be availed of and that the level of employment in the forestry sector will increase. This would also feed in to the changeover to biomass in the area of electricity generation.
