Written answers

I propose to take Questions Nos. 866, 867 and 868 together.

Coillte is operationally independent of my Department and operational matters such as the management of their forest estate are the responsibility of the company.

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