641. Deputy Maureen O'Sullivan asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine further to Parliamentary Question No. 152 of 11 December 2013 in which he stated he will not publish the Coillte forestry review, if his attention has been drawn to the fact that Coillte is the largest forestry operator operating under the 1988 Forestry Act and is, therefore, fundamentally connected to the new Forestry Bill 2013; the way the new Forestry Bill 2013 will achieve sustainable forest management if older Acts such as the Forestry Act 1988, from which Coillte emanated, are not reviewed and reformed and since the principles of sustainable forest management stem from the Rio Earth Summit in 1992; and in the case that the 1988 Forestry Act predates this agreement, the reason it is primarily focused on the primacy of profit and timber production; the way it will be able to deliver the multiple benefits of sustainable forest management; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
