Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine

Farm Foresty Partnership Agreements: Discussion

3:30 pm

Mr. Gerard Murphy:

The other question was about exploring buying out and selling partnerships. I think the question was whether we are buying or selling land. We have sold land for a number of years where we feel that we can get multiples of the value of the forestry. In certain cases, we sell land through our land solutions division but we have a policy that where we sell land that is productive forest, we look to replace it. In those cases, we are buying land as well as selling.
