As I understand it, Coillte has not participated in developments in forestry since 1988 because it is guided by the Act of that year. Therefore, it is not required in law to do what I describe. Is that correct? Coillte is not obliged to go down the road of participating in developments associated with continuous cover and new species because the Forestry Act 1988 is the guiding Act. That is a retrograde step.
