Summary
The Minister said the exporter considers selling pulpwood abroad more commercially attractive than domestic outlets, and exports to other EC member states are unrestricted.
asked the Minister for Tourism, Fisheries and Forestry the reason timber is being exported via Caherciveen, County Kerry, and not processed here in Ireland.
Comment on this
According to the information available to me the firm who are exporting pulpwood size timber from Caherciveen regard it as more commercially attractive to do so than to sell it at prevailing market prices to alternative domestic outlets. There are no restrictions on such exports to other member states of the European Community.
