Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Forestry Policy and Strategy: Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine (25 Jan 2023)

Marian Harkin: What the Minister is saying is that they are all pulling back. The Taoiseach and Tánaiste did so publicly and the Minister has said that this evening. Let us start at that position.

Will the Minister tell us that this is the entirety of Coillte's engagement with Gresham House and that...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Forestry Policy and Strategy: Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine (25 Jan 2023)

Marian Harkin: I heard the Minister say he wants to engage local communities, small farmers, public bodies and so on. Many people who have spoken this evening, who know more about forestry than I do, have said very clearly that confidence is on the ground. It has gone through it. I know that from talking to constituents. Where do we move from here? If we are to get confidence back into the industry,...
