Reform Forest Policy in Ireland Petition (2238 words) |
 | Coillte continues to have a policy of clearfelling and a policy of minimum broadleaf planting on public land and on farms in the Coillte Farm Partnership Scheme. |
| Coillte incorrectly claimed that they were a private enterprise so that they could retain EU grants that the EU courts ruled that they must return (A public body is not entitled to EU funding). |
| Coillte continues to act in a manner similar to private companies despite a consultants report to the Minister stating that privatisation was contra-indicated. |

| The plant under Coillte ownership will be in a position to explore these markets without the restraints of their former American influence affecting the situation. |
| Coillte is to harvest and haul pulp wood, previously handled by Willamette, through its own harvesting and haulage contractors. |
| While confirmation of the new arrangements was not forthcoming from either Willamette or Coillte personnel, contractors have confirmed that they are currently in the second month of a three month, run in period to the end of Willamette harvesting and haulage. |
