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 lands, are the responsibility of the company.

The company has, however, confirmed that the request for a right of way, to which the Deputy refers, is currently going through Coillte’s internal approval procedures and that the Coillte operational team expect to contact the persons requesting the right of way over the coming weeks with the intention of reaching an agreement.
