Recent independent research underscores the strong fundamentals supporting forestry investment in Ireland. According to "Wood Supply and Demand on the Island of Ireland to 2030" (COFORD, 2023) — "Ireland's forecasted demand for wood fibre is set to exceed domestic supply by 2030, underpinning continued strength in the timber and forestry sector. This sustained supply-demand imbalance highlights the long-term value of forestry holdings such as this one at Coolamain. "Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine's 'Reconstitution Scheme for Ash Dieback'; The scheme supports forest owners to clear dead ash trees and replant with another species, and to make themselves eligible for the additional Climate Action Performance Payment (CAPP) of €5,000 per hectare.
