Description: The timber industry contributes about €2.3 billion to the Irish economy each year and supports 12,000 jobs in rural Ireland. But with some 78 per cent of the output exported overseas, the implications of Brexit are obvious. To discuss this industry and the threat it faces, Ciarán is joined by Coillte CEO Fergal Leamy, John Murray, owner of Murray Timber, and Lucinda Creighton, MD of Vulcan Consulting. But first Eoin Burke Kennedy is here to talk about his selection of the day's major business news, including soaring property prices, Google and Facebook backing away from political advertising and a proposed levy on diesel.
