On the core point, the wonderful plan Coillte has laid out for the next 20 years, would the €30 million dividend to the State be better spent if Coillte reinvested it in the product it is proposing? Coillte's statement was amazing and contains great aspiration but finance is key. Paying €30 million to the State is questionable, to say the least.
