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

The matter was, however, raised with Coillte who advise that Coillte’s property sales team have engaged with this individual a number of times on his request and are currently looking at possible ways to advance the request for a right of way. I am advised that the company will continue to update the individual concerned on progress and have outlined Coillte’s sales process to him including the internal approvals required before a property transaction may be advanced.
