Forestry Strategic Vision: Coillte

Mr. Mark Carlin:

The fund owns the land and, therefore, it draws the grant. Coillte's role in this is threefold, namely, to acquire the land, plant the land and then manage the land as part of our existing forest estate. That is our role in this. The only way Coillte can get back into delivering the afforestation goals of the country and assisting in that is by drawing on third-party capital because the level of expenditure is extraordinary, at over €2 billion.
