Coillte sale and forestry legislation

Summary

Barry Cowen asks for clarity on Coillte’s proposed sale, harvesting rights and possible merger with Bord na Móna. The Tánaiste points to the published Forestry Bill, awaiting Second Stage.

Will the Tánaiste clarify to the House the differing utterances that have emanated from the Taoiseach and the Minister for Communications, Energy and Natural Resources, Deputy Pat Rabbitte, in regard to the sale of Coillte and related harvesting rights? Will there be legislation from Government to give effect to the merger that is spoken about between Coillte and Bord na Móna?
