1182. Deputy Eoin Ó Broin asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine the breakdown of the costs of the proposed joint venture between Coillte and ESB, that is, action 50 of the interim climate actions. [30813/21]
View answerCoillte CGA was established as a private commercial company under the Forestry Act, 1988, under the aegis of the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine.
Coillte is the lead in relation to the delivery of Action 50 of the Interim Climate Actions 2021. The Department's role is that of Corporate Governance oversight in relation to the undertaking of this Action by Coillte, for which the consent of the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine, given with the consent of the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform, must be obtained. This process is ongoing.
I have also referred this query to Coillte for direct reply to the Deputy.
