529. Deputy Luke 'Ming' Flanagan asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine the reason Coillte failed to correctly predict the future supply of round logs that was to be available to the sawmilling industry here from the forests it manages; his views on whether the prediction of a rising future supply of round logs encouraged sawmillers to invest in plant, thus creating a competitive sawmilling industry with more processing capacity than the annual supply of mature round logs could meet; if anyone has been held to account for this misdirection; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
