These greedy, self serving executives need to be help to account publicly.

“On legal advise, the Govt …..”. I’m sick of this crap. They had & have no problems lower our pay cheques at the stroke of a pen. “On legal advice”, my arse !! Grow a pair, Govt. Cut the damn thing & give them 2 choices – take it or you’re fired.

Nothing surprises me anymore!. Why anyone wld be paid that sort of money in the first place on an island as small as this beyond comprehension. They all need tow the line every political person, x politician, president, x presidents, head of semi states etc. they all should be forced to take drastic pay cuts in their wages r pensions. if a elderly person can just about survive on the date pension what’s the thoughts behind 140,000 plus pension plans who will actually spend that in a year retired?.

After Epic Mountain Bike Club staged Irelands most successful race, with huge international exposer, Coilte have sent them a very petty letter telling them they will never be allowed stage another event again – no reasons were stated…

They have mismanaged the forestry in Ireland, clear felling one of our most valuable resources & selling the timber for bargain basement prices for incineration in the UK.

They have sold off Land (which is supposed to belong to the Irish people) to Shell to Sea… & they insist on paying themselves massive salaries… Coilte needs to be shut down from the top & a massive rethink is required on hopw to manage OUR land. BTW we need to forget about letting Bertie Ahern & his Swiss consortium from getting near it either…

Cant see the wood from the trees

Nobody in the semi state should get paid more than 150,000 a year. Put it this way,if Ireland was a company we have quite a few people getting paid more than the boss! Like all public sector pay it makes no sense.
If you want to make more work in the real world. Tax payers should not have to pay for these wasters.

Sara by all public sector I mean that our public sector get paid far more than public sector anywhere else. I totally agree that front line staff deserve every penny and maybe more but I dont agree that middle management and above get paid so much for doing so little. No body getting paid by the tax payer should be earning the wage and pensions that these people get.

The trees that have been and continue to be planted are not suitable for Irish growing conditions. the fact that they are being clearfelled would be a good thing if they were replanting properly. The drainage practices also need to be sorted out as they are leading to leaching and flooding,, while Coillte definitly does have issues to address it is way better than selling our forests off to private interests.

Frontline workers deserve every penny of their pay and a lot more besides.
To all nurses Garda firefighters prison officers paramedics and all other 24/7 services I salute you.
To this muppet head of coillte, how about your tied to one of your trees and a gallon of petrol poured on you and torched… Let’s see if one of the overpaid firefighters and nurses will still look after you… They would because they are the real professionals ….
