A week is a long time in politics - and we have really seen that in the changes already occurring within the new government.

In a recent article on the Green Belt website, we discussed the impact and efforts Minister Cowen and Hackett had made early into their tenure.

We all hope Minister Calleary @daracalleary is at least equally as supportive of the forestry industry across Ireland. As with all Ministers, we sincerely wish them every success and offer our support in the further betterment of the State - from our perspective n the delivery of a sustainable forestry program which will continue to deliver rural employment, community enhancement and economic gains to all stakeholders in the sector.
