It has in small patches around Connemara but I do not see any sign of it on Slieve Aughty or Slieve Barna, and I live beside both. The spokesperson for the Gresham House investment fund has talked about 60% Sitka spruce and 25% broadleaf, with the remainder to be rewilded. I presume that if you leave something to rewild for long enough, it will eventually become a broadleaf forest. There seems to be a discrepancy there.
