1055.

Coillte was established as a private commercial company under the Forestry Act, 1988 and day-to-day operational matters, such as the Coillte Farm Partnership Scheme, are the responsibility of the company.
The entry into a farm partnership was a contractual matter between Coillte and the landowner and my Department does not have such records. My Department could not, in any event, under data protection legislation, release such personal data.
