97 Mr. Hyland asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and Forestry if his attention has been drawn to the success of the timber design and research centre at Letterfrack, County Galway; the steps, if any, he will take to ensure that the students work is reflected in the refurbishing of offices of his Department with particular reference to the new Portlaoise office; and his views on whether the recently refurbished reception area of his Department in Dublin should contain a sculpture in wood to reflect the increasing importance of wood and forestry to the national economy. [1638/95]

I am aware of the excellent work being carried out at this centre. I will arrange to have the other questions raised by the Deputy examined in my Department.
