Ms Vivienne Jupp:

I will raise that when I get in to talk to the Department and the board. There is pressure on land because the goal is to increase forestry quite dramatically. Coillte cannot do that on its own. There have to be other avenues that will increase tree planting, whether we want it for wood for construction, climate and biodiversity or recreation. All those will have to be balanced. We will need land and we will have to buy it in a responsible way. The price of land is going up, so the cost of doing all that is extensive, not to mention getting and planting the trees.
