Simon Coveney (Cork South Central, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

I have control over many things but I not quite sure I have any power in the context of where Coillte sources its wood pulp. I take the point the Deputy is raising. During my time in a previous Ministry, I got to know Coillte very well. I do not know the strategic reason for its not sourcing wood pulp from private forestry operators, if, in fact, that is the case. I can certainly try to establish why but I do not have any further information today.
