Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Forestry Strategic Vision: Coillte (13 Dec 2022)

Seán Sherlock: I wish to continue on that theme. If I set aside the nature trust and the fact that corporates are piling in to the not-for-profit sector, it is good for ESG and for Coillte. That is where the game is at globally. It is all about ESG for corporates. That is fine. I can understand that. The new joint venture partnership, which I will call a special purpose vehicle, Coillte is considering...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Forestry Strategic Vision: Coillte (13 Dec 2022)

Seán Sherlock: That is fine. I will park it. Mr. Carlin has clarified it. The representatives have made mention of the new forestry plant and €1.3 billion of an opportunity. It is clear to me that this special purpose vehicle will now bid for some of that €1.3 billion opportunity. Is that correct?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Forestry Strategic Vision: Coillte (13 Dec 2022)

Seán Sherlock: These are simple questions. They are not loaded. There is nothing too rhetorical about my approach. I am looking for light more than heat. I have looked at the grant rates for establishment under this new forestry plan. I assume Coillte will have looked at all of this and kicked the tyres on the premiums for the farmer or landowner and will have looked at the establishment grants. Under...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Forestry Strategic Vision: Coillte (13 Dec 2022)

Seán Sherlock: Grant rates.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Forestry Strategic Vision: Coillte (13 Dec 2022)

Seán Sherlock: Chair, I think I said I am excluding premiums. Let me very clear. I am talking about establishment grants.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Forestry Strategic Vision: Coillte (13 Dec 2022)

Seán Sherlock: Chair, may I have some protection here?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Forestry Strategic Vision: Coillte (13 Dec 2022)

Seán Sherlock: Establishment grants only. That is all we are talking about here. Okay?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Forestry Strategic Vision: Coillte (13 Dec 2022)

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Forestry Strategic Vision: Coillte (13 Dec 2022)

Seán Sherlock: I thank the Chairman. The cost for broadleaf soft is €9,631. If I accept the bona fides of Professor O'Donoghue and if I accept the figures that the Minister has put to us in terms of the new forestry grant already, I see the people who will establish these new forestry grounds to meet all of our targets and all of our ambitions as set out, even including in Coillte's "A Greener...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Forestry Strategic Vision: Coillte (13 Dec 2022)

Seán Sherlock: I will put it a different way. If I go back to that €6,744, if one has lands that are at scale with a partner that is funding into this new so-called "Coillte nua" entity, Mr. Carlin is telling me that the smaller forestry companies, foresters and contractors are more agile and leaner. I remain to be convinced of what Mr. Carlin is saying there, and I say that respectfully. If...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Forestry Strategic Vision: Coillte (13 Dec 2022)

Seán Sherlock: There is a difference. A private forest company will naturally go for private investment. It has no other choice. That is a given. Coillte is State-owned. That is the difference. I hope Mr. Carlin can appreciate here that what is a resource and what people feel they have ownership of is an entity that they want, not for their generation but for future generations who belong to us all. ...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Forestry Strategic Vision: Coillte (13 Dec 2022)
