Deputies will recall that when I announced the content of the State asset disposal programme in February, I indicated that consideration will also be given to the sale of some of Coillte's assets but that a sale of Coillte's land holdings is ruled out by Government. Since then, detailed consideration has been given to the various options to realise value from Coillte and its assets and I would expect to announce details of the Government's intentions in this regard in the near future.
