Mr. Nicholas Sweetman:

A member asked about the 60 calls made to its helpline. Coillte's has informed us that 30 of the 60 have been dealt with in full. Of the rest, the company reckons it is on the way to dealing with 25. This was the information we got at our meeting two weeks ago. Problems have arisen in a further five outstanding cases. However, that is the tip of the iceberg in my view. I should also point out that we have no way of verifying those figures. For instance, we do not have the names of the 630 people who have contracts with Coillte.
