Speaking at the presentation the Minister of State for Forestry, Mr Tom Hayes TD said: "I am glad once again to officiate at the presentation of IrBEA Wood Fuel Quality Assurance Scheme certificates. This year 8 companies, from across Ireland, have been successful in attaining certification. Wood fuel production from forests is growing and is supporting new jobs in rural Ireland. The scheme is designed to provide consumers with good quality logs, chips and pellets, and provide assurance that the fuels they are using are a clean, climate friendly source of heat and power. My Department supports the scheme as part of our commitment to fostering forest-based jobs and developing rural economies."
