The Government has approved the heads of the Forestry Bill, and discussions are continuing between my Department and the Office of the Attorney General with a view to finalizing the text. There is no specified timetable for its enactment. It would be my intention to introduce the Bill in the Houses of the Oireachtas as soon as possible.
