Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine

Annual Report 2012: Discussion with Coillte

5:00 pm

Mr. Gerry Britchfield:

Ultimately, with the assets we have we are trying to fulfil Government objectives. The Government has the objective of generating 40% of electricity in Ireland by 2020 from renewable sources, and primarily wind. We are trying to use our land to fulfil that Government objective. That is what we are about, and we are mandated by the shareholder - the Government - to do what we can to deliver on its policy objectives. That is what we are doing.
