Coillte Teoranta was established as a private commercial company under the Forestry Act 1988 and the sale by Coillte of future harvesting rights, to which the Deputy refers, is an operational matter for the company. Coillte has, however, advised that no such harvesting rights were sold in the past three years i.e. 2010, 2011 and 2012.
