Deputy Paul Murphy asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine if he will instruct Coillte to provide information in relation to the Coillte-approved and licensed shoots that occurred in a location (details supplied) on 27 December 2022 and 8 January 2023; the reason that Coillte is choosing to prevent the public from accessing two public parks in order to facilitate members from a gun club; if his attention has been drawn to reports that members of the gun club were firing shots while members of the public were still in the wood on 8 January 2023; the actions that were taken to address this with the members of the gun club to ensure that it does not occur again; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

Coillte is a private limited company established under the Forestry Act 1988 and is operationally independent from the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine. I have referred the matter to Coillte for direct follow-up with the Deputy.
