Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 4 July 2024
397. Deputy Michael Fitzmaurice asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine when information as discussed by the Joint Committee on Agriculture Food and the Marine held on 25 January 2023 on inventory of the quantity and quality of what Coillte has in stock in its 40-year cycle will be forthcoming as previously requested; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [28721/24]
View answerIn accordance with the correspondence issued to the Deputy on 20th June this year, I wish to confirm that the timber forecast produced by Coillte up to the year 2040 was shared with my Department and has been published in the COFORD “All Ireland Roundwood Production Forecast 2021-2040”. Coillte volume can be interpreted in the report. The Coillte forecast data focuses on conifer softwood production only as Coillte does not forecast hardwood production.
This forecast is available at: www.coford.ie/publications/reports/.
