Coillte Teoranta was established as a private commercial company under the Forestry Act, 1988. Day-to-day operational matters such as the sale of land and issues concerning such sales are the responsibility of the company. The details requested by the Deputy concerning those sales come within the ambit of Coillte's operational responsibilities.

For the Deputy's information a list of all land sold by Coillte in Co. Wicklow by townland in 2005 and 2006 is set out in the following tables. Similar information in respect of the years from 2002 to 2004 is not readily available but is being compiled and will be forwarded to the Deputy as soon as possible.
