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

The Coillte Farm Partnership Scheme, and any contracts between Coilte and forest-owners under the scheme, are a matter entirely for Coillte. My Department has passed the questions raised for direct response to the Deputy.
