- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Forest Policy and Strategy (Resumed): Discussion (1 Mar 2023)
Paul Daly: I thank the Coillte representatives for being here. As I was not at December's meeting due to a family bereavement, I will not go back to that. The Gresham House thing has been covered fairly well. The representatives will be relieved to hear I will probably not pursue that line either. I will go back to Deputy Fitzmaurice's line of questioning and get a little more clarification on the...

Paul Daly: I am sorry to interrupt. Even if the European Commission had not come out with its nature restoration proposals, Coillte has replanting obligations. That land would automatically have been replanted but there is now a possibility it will not be. There has to be a loss in there somewhere. How will Coillte balance that?

Paul Daly: Is that existing forestry?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Forest Policy and Strategy (Resumed): Discussion (1 Mar 2023)
Paul Daly: Does Coillte have much virgin land on its books that may fall into the same category? This is land that may have been targeted for planting but that now may not be possible.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Forest Policy and Strategy (Resumed): Discussion (1 Mar 2023)
Paul Daly: Was it targeted for planting?

Paul Daly: Coillte exports timber. The Irish Timber Council was here last week and we heard a great deal about the boat from Scotland. While that boat was coming over with timber, was Coillte exporting?

Paul Daly: Does Coillte export pulp?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Forest Policy and Strategy (Resumed): Discussion (1 Mar 2023)
Paul Daly: The thrust of Coillte’s submission and of almost every answer its representatives have given has been about the availability and acquiring of land. Why, then, does it sell land?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Forest Policy and Strategy (Resumed): Discussion (1 Mar 2023)
Paul Daly: Why in 2021 did Coillte sell 213 ha in County Offaly on an as-is forestry basis?

Paul Daly: I have an email from Coillte in 2021 and it never came back to me on it. The thrust of the argument to date has been about the acquisition of land, yet it is selling the guts of 500 acres of forestry as is. Why? I am entitled to ask that question as a public representative. It was not to gain access to a school or anything like that.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Forest Policy and Strategy (Resumed): Discussion (1 Mar 2023)
Paul Daly: Not 500 acres.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Forest Policy and Strategy (Resumed): Discussion (1 Mar 2023)
Paul Daly: I have the email proof here. On 5 May, I had correspondence on it, but Coillte has not come back to me since. What will change there?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Forest Policy and Strategy (Resumed): Discussion (1 Mar 2023)
Paul Daly: I asked who the purchaser was and was told it was commercially sensitive and there was purchaser confidentiality. That was on 5 May 2021. I have not had an answer since. I have been asked many questions on the ground, naturally enough, from people as to why Coillte is selling 500 acres of forestry, especially when it came out that the Gresham House deal would not involve selling forestry...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Forest Policy and Strategy (Resumed): Discussion (1 Mar 2023)
Paul Daly: I have been listening to talk of acquisitions and was toying with whether to ask the question but I have heard about acquiring land and the availability of land all evening and feel duty-bound on behalf of my constituents to ask it.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Forest Policy and Strategy (Resumed): Discussion (1 Mar 2023)
Paul Daly: I will accept that. Sin é.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Forest Policy and Strategy (Resumed): Discussion (1 Mar 2023)
Paul Daly: Why would Coillte have acquired land that was never going to be targeted for forestry planting?
