1232. Deputy Ryan O'Meara asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine following the damage done by Storm Éowyn, if timber harvested from private forestry can be sold on a volume rather than a tonnage basis, given much of the timber that fell during the storm will take an extended period of time to be harvested and transported to sawmills, meaning that the weight of the timber will be reduced in the meantime, and therefore farmers will be financially disadvantaged by having lower tonnages going into the mills, and considering a measurement of timber per cubic metre is the fairer system to be applied in such cases; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
