Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine
Forestry Strategic Vision: Coillte
Ms Imelda Hurley:
Pardon me. I have said we have kept the shareholder up to date when perhaps I should have referred to the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine. We have kept the Department up to date regarding our vision and the need to access capital. The Department is aware that Coillte does not have the capital that is required in order to deliver. If Coillte is raising capital, a fund manager is needed because of the licences and all of the governance that are required.
