Coillte issue licences to moor boats at their property on Lough Sheelin. However, Coillte CGA was established as a private commercial company under the Forestry Act, 1988 and day-to-day operational matters such as this are the responsibility of the company.

I have therefore passed the questions raised to Coillte for response and direct reply to the Deputy.
