This presentation has come about as a result of an earlier presentation by Coillte to the committee. Serious concerns were raised about farmers and their relationship with Coillte. Before I open the discussion up to the other members, I note that in his presentation Mr. Healy makes a number of points about the contract and the lack of communication between Coillte and the farmer regarding management of the forests and the growth rate, etc. Mr. Healy said seven different types of contract were signed. Was it a standard contract or were these issues not addressed in the contract?
