Forestry, because it’s so long term, is the exact business that should be majority 100% government owned. Slow, steady returns is what government investment should be about. It’s not as if the Irish gov doesn’t have the cash to make this happen on its own and give full-time employment to the necessary amount of people. Or even Labour contracts if need be. But not corporate firms to acquire Irish land and “manage” them.
I hope that someone puts an end to this crap. Ireland could use so many more trees, and so much more forest.
Edit: also, this is not 21stC banking or finance or 20thC space travel. This is shit that’s been done before elsewhere quite easily. Find the model that most resembles the Irish goals and copy that model while fixing any issues that cropped up when it was last applied. Forestry is not difficult. It’s just very labour intensive and, as a result, expensive. 21stC tech such as modern GPS and modern satellite imaging should bring the cost down lower than ever before.
What are Gresham Houses intentions with the land? Why would they be concerned with forestry in Ireland?

I hope that someone shuts this rubbish down.

They’d privatize the air if they could.
