Coillte publishes 'Recreation Policy 2005'

Coillte have published their 'Recreation Policy 2005' - http://www.coillte.ie/publications/recreationpolicy.htm#

There's a section on 'Recreational Hunting'- http://www.coillte.ie/download/recreation/english/Coillte_Eng_17.pdf
Much political correctness about fox hunting

Paintball gets a mention too- http://www.coillte.ie/download/recreation/english/Coillte_Eng_18.pdf


With the proposed change in the law as regards airguns <1 joule, I wonder if they'll start having 'problems' with airsofters?

I wonder if there's anything in there about mountain biking around ticknock?

Nothing specifically about Ticknock, but there's a handy flow chart on page 4 of the 'Cycling' section- http://www.coillte.ie/download/recreation/english/Coillte_Eng_11.pdf

Coillte appear at least to be willing to work with responsible groups to provide access to their forests. As a landowner myself, I can only imagine the headaches they have to deal with.

Hmm,Me think Coilte speak with forked tounge!!Or they backpedal.Considering there was the big /NARGC/Coilte flare up that prohibited any type of shooting on their lands.Why now the big change around?
Also just a thought if airsoft is coming in.
Most of the airsoft guns would fall under the "idonlikdelookodat"type weapons,which can be restricted category.
Is this a stillborn child already??

Does any body know how I can get a copy of a permit granted for woodlands and who applied for it. We lost our wood after 30 years shooting rights to a group and were not even notified by coillte.
