\n

Coillte has warned the Government that it could run out of timber to sell off before the end of the year, leading to thousands of job losses across the forestry sector.<\/em><\/p>\n

The warning was made in a letter sent during August to the prime minister Miche\u00e1l Martin in his role as acting Minister for Agriculture.<\/p>\n

The semi-State forestry company made contact to flag concerns about the impact on its business of a backlog in the appeals process for felling licences, it is understood. The forestry body warned the prime minister that if it runs out of timber the State\u2019s sawmills will face drastic shortages of raw materials.<\/p>\n

The backlog has led to the cancellation of multiple auctions of timber by the semi-State already this year, Coillte said in a statement.<\/p>\n

The prime minister met officials last week to discuss the situation following the letter, Government sources said.<\/p>\n

Coillte told The Irish Times that its timber supply for the remainder of 2020 and 2021 is \u201cunder severe threat due to the delays in processing of appeals, which has led to a significant backlog\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe licensing and appeals process is currently not working in a manner which allows Coillte to meet the timber needs of the sector,\u201d a statement from the semi-State said.<\/p>\n

The forestry industry has said appeals to tree-felling licences are not being dealt with quickly enough by the Department\u2019s Forestry Appeals Committee, with the number of appeals currently before the body reported to be about 400, and the committee working through them at a rate of around 20 a month.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe underlying issues need to be resolved as a matter of urgency,\u201d a spokesman for Coillte said, calling for amendments to the agricultural appeals Act and proper resourcing for the committee \u201cso that appeals can be dealt with in a timely manner\u201d.<\/p>\n

A spokesman for the Department of Agriculture said a draft Bill to \u201calign the forestry licensing and appeals system with other similar planning process\u201d was published on the department\u2019s website inviting public comment on proposals in July.<\/p>\n

The department said this Bill would aim to change the operation of the Forestry Appeals Committee \u201cto make the appeals process more efficient\u201d.<\/p>\n

New legislation<\/strong><\/p>\n

Sources said the Government intends to address the issue by new legislation early in the new D\u00e1il term, with legislation already being worked on by the Department of Agriculture and the Attorney General\u2019s office.<\/p>\n

Coillte said new procedures on licensing for harvesting of trees \u201chave had a serious impact on the issuing of felling licences to Coillte and also the wider forest sector\u201d.<\/p>\n

Availability of material for sale by the body has been constrained, it said, arguing that \u201cthe issue has become very critical\u201d, and Coillte has had to cancel six of its monthly auctions.<\/p>\n

The Department of Agriculture said the Minister was \u201cfully aware\u201d of issues in the sector, and said a \u201cdetailed project plan\u201d was being implemented to increase licensing output, including hiring new resources in the department.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
