To put it simply, what Coillte did down through the years was it went in and planted land. It did not draw the grants; the farmers drew the grants if they were planting themselves. Coillte went in and never drew the grants. What it is doing now is tying up with private investment funds, be it through the commercial side or broad-leaved trees and native timber. Others will draw the grants but Coillte will be tied in with them. Are those the facts?
