Ms Imelda Hurley:

The reality for Coillte is that grants and premiums are needed as part of delivering afforestation. We are in ongoing communication with our shareholder on a wide variety of matters. It is aware of our ambition regarding the delivery of the 100,000 ha of new forests. It is also aware that we need to access capital to do so and that Coillte does not have the level of capital that would be required to deliver the ambition we have.
