Been saying this for a long while. #Ireland needs to stop joking around about our #biodiversity crisis, and plant actual forests. Not crops.

We've seen what happened to housing when vulture funds flooded the market.💰

Of course farmers & communities are outraged at the prospect of investment funds hoovering up land in rural areas

This is a bad deal that puts private interest over public good

If Coillte needs outside help to do forestry, what's the point of Coillte?

Coillte isn't selling off taxpayer-owned woodlands, but if its managers need to team up with a private investment group to plant new forests it begs the question, why have a State forestry agency at all?
