Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 28 November 2012
207. Deputy Charlie McConalogue asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine if his Department is in the process of selling forestry land (details supplied) in County Donegal; the reason for any such sale; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [53345/12]
View answerMy Department is not in the process of selling the forestry lands indicated by the Deputy. The bulk of the State’s forestry estate was vested in Coillte, in accordance with the Forestry Act 1988, upon the company’s establishment in 1989. Day-to-day operational matters, such as the sale and acquisition of land which take place regularly, are the responsibility of the company.
