233. To ask the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine the amount of future harvesting rights that have been sold by Coillte in each of the past three years; the total amount of rights that have been sold and the projected dates of maturity and the counties in which the rights have been sold, excluding sales of current standing timber sold to timber processors for harvesting within one year of sale; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

Coillte Teoranta was established as a private commercial company under the Forestry Act 1988 and the sale by Coillte of future harvesting rights, to which the Deputy refers, is an operational matter for the company. Coillte has, however, advised that no such harvesting rights were sold in the past three years i.e. 2010, 2011 and 2012.
