Coillte Teoranta was established as a private commercial company under the Forestry Act, 1988 and day-to-day operational matters, such as the one referred to by the Deputy, are the responsibility of the company. I understand that Coillte has processes in place for dealing with contractor issues and I believe that, as this is an operational matter, it is for the company to address any outstanding issues.
