    Sorry - can't heip you but it might be a good idea to state what type of timber,prefered log diametre/log length and the amount [in tonnes] that you require.

    Its wood that's become valuable, NOT Coillte that's become expensive.. So why would you expect a private guy to sell at a loss to the price that Coillte is getting?

    Private timber stand owners have made a huge PERSONAL investment, usually WAY beyond what the organs of the State have done, and really it Pi55es me off when people think they should get timber for half nothing from the private guy when often times they wont even argue with the Coillte price fixer. Grrrr!
