How much land will be involved in increasing the area of Coillte's land used for biodiversity from 20% to 30% by 2025, which is a very short period?

Has Coillte been approached by wind farm companies to take up particular forestry areas? What is its position on that?

We have talked to some farmers. They are very concerned about the 20-year rule, if they want to change back but cannot. What is Coillte's position on that?
