Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine

Forestry Strategic Vision: Coillte

Ms Imelda Hurley:

We have said that we would enable the creation of 100,000 ha of new forests. The way we will do that, as we have outlined, is through the traditional investor and the impact investor. What is important in all of this is the scale of challenge ahead regarding afforestation, which is significant. The country needs to plant 8,000 ha per annum. There is much to go in achieving that target.
