Fermoy Timber Factory Closure

Summary

Mac Giolla asked about timber-industry policy and the Fermoy factory’s closure, which cost 70 jobs after it failed to secure Department of Forestry contracts; the Ceann Comhairle ruled it a separate question and moved on.

What are the Government's positive policies in relation to the timber industry? Is the Minister aware that the timber factory in Fermoy closed down five or six weeks ago with a loss of 70 jobs? This factory was closed down because they could not get contracts——

That is a specific question and the question on the Order Paper is of a general nature.

What does the Minister intend to do about the timber factory which had to close down because it could not get contracts for timber from the Department of Forestry?

That is a separate question. I am calling Question No. 4.
