Coillte Harvesting Rights: Discussion with Irish Timber Council

11:20 am

Mr. Jim McNamara:

In fairness to Coillte, we must take into account the acquisition of Medite, which cost €80 million. Deputy Barry spoke earlier about the debt of €180 million - it borrowed €80 million to buy Medite. I do not know what it borrowed when it invested in the OSB, but there were some capital payments by Coillte.
