Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine

Coillte's Annual Report for 2016 and Climate Change: Discussion

4:00 pm

Mr. Fergal Leamy:

One of the issues we are seeing throughout the country is that some of the farm partners were signed up 15 to 20 years ago and some of the communication that happened at that time might not be remembered or the land has been transferred. We are trying to get better at communicating and being very clear with people about what is expected from the partnership and what is not expected. I take on board the concerns people have because we are also hearing concerns from some of our partners that were signed up 15 to 20 years ago. We see it as an area in which we need to be clearer with people about what the partnership is. If there are things that need to change, we will look at it and take a flexible approach.
