The Minister has already said here today that decisions have been taken and implemented which will determine the size of our timber products for the next ten to 20 years. Is the Minister satisfied with the whole management of forestry and that the proper decisions have been taken by the management in this area? There is also this inventory which was promised so long ago.

I am quite satisfied with the handling of the current position by my staff in the forests. The Deputy implies that there is something wrong somewhere.

I am not saying that.

The reason that there may seem to be something wrong is that the demand far outstrips supply of timatio ber, of its very nature, depends on nature and we cannot push that too far.
