I am aware that Coillte are encountering problems with unauthorised activities in a number of their forests. Arising from these problems, Coillte have, in accordance with Section 37 of the Forestry Act, 1988, requested me to make bye-laws governing this activity. Draft bye-laws have been prepared and are currently being considered by Coillte.
