Ms Imelda Hurley:

There are a few points to be made on state aid. The first concerns Coillte's potential access to state aid under new state aid rules issued earlier this year. Specifically in regard to that, we are engaging with the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine to ascertain its view on whether Coillte will be able to access grants and premiums. I believe the Senator's question was broadly about the forestry programme.
