Coillte was established as a private commercial company under the Forestry Act 1988 and day-to-day operational matters, such as the management of their forest estate and land transactions, are the responsibility of the company.

The matter was, however, raised with Coillte who advise that a sales contract for the sale of Killykeen Holiday Complex in County Cavan has now been signed with CABü. Coillte also advise that, as stated in their press announcement of 10 May 2017, CABü hope to open this holiday destination for visitors by April 2018 with a view to developing the site further over a period of three years.

I understand from Coillte, however, that a sales contract for the sale of Killykeen Holiday Complex in County Cavan, to which the Deputy is referring, has now been signed with CABü.  I have not met, nor do I have any plans to meet, with CABü.
