The Irish Government is moving closer to a huge sell-off of the public forests managed by Coillte (The Irish Forestry Board) to private investors. An area greater than 1 million acres, equivalent to two medium sized counties will be lost forever. This will include some of our most valuable native woodlands, wild places and some of the last refuges of our native flora and fauna.

Interest has been expressed by Swiss finance company Helvetia Wealth - who own the International Forestry Fund (IFF) - chaired by Bertie Ahern, (ex-prime minister of Ireland) as well as The China Investment Corporation.

Please sign this petition now to tell the Irish Government that Ireland's Forests are not for sale. These forests are the inheritance of the Irish children and managed wisely can help secure Ireland's social, environmental and economic future. A strong show of support, asserting our rightful ownership of the public forests will make all the difference..

  • bertie ahern ran ireland like it was his own private enterprise , he's a corrupt snivelling little bastard and nothing he does these days surprises me, has'nt he already sold our seas and sovereignty to the EU and our oil to shell?

  • Bertie Ahern clearly has no ethics, morals or conscience. He is a disgrace to the office of Taoiseach.

  • The forest need to be privatized..owned by the people who care about them. Not in the hands of the government who may sell out at any time, and not in the hands of big businesses. Small allotments of the lands to people who live on them and can manage them with strict rules against cutting the forest areas would be the best rout.

  • Bertie is a muppet and a traitor!

  • Ahern is a liar ,a crook ,a cheat, and a self serving conniving scumbag with an obscene pension and cushioned against adversity until he meets his maker.

  • Why has somebody not shot the bas*ard!

  • Petition Signed, please sign too!
