Abstract

The status of Irish timber is outlined in the context of the world and European trade. The small size of the industry means that changes of supply can have a considerable effect on production. The present sawlog supply is given in relation to quantity and method of obtaining it. The requirements of the market and some indications of the size and competitiveness of the homegrown sawn timber industry are presented, concluding with a brief comment on its future.
