Amharc ar fhreagraCoillte Teoranta was established as a private commercial company under the Forestry Act, 1988 and day-to-day operational matters, such as the location of the company’s offices, are the responsibility of the company.
Coillte has, however, advised that the only office which the company is proposing to vacate is the office located in Santry, Dublin. I am also advised that this location was always intended as a temporary office and that the functions there will be consolidated with those in the company’s Head Office in Newtownmountkennedy, Co. Wicklow.
