Ireland's sawmills have run out of timber
Because the legislation under the new Forestry Act hasn't been implemented, the industry is in chaos, says FII. Picture: iStock
‘The sawmills have run out of timber and the forestry sector has little or no planting programme ahead of it for the winter. People are being laid off across the industry and the sector is in a state of emergency.’
This, according to industry experts, is the current state of the forestry sector which is as a result of the delay in implementing legislation under the new Forestry Act passed just two weeks ago.
