Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine

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, therefore, referred the matter to Coillte for direct follow-up with the Deputy.
