LISTEN BACK: 'Recreational use of forests in Co Cavan must be managed better'

Cavan County Council has called on Imelda Hurley, Chief Executive Officer of Coillte to meet with councillors to discuss the management, monitoring and risks within Coillte Forests in the county. Those calls came on foot of a motion from Cllr Sarah O'Reilly after she raised concerns over the behaviour of some recreational users of the local forest in Bailieboro.

Speaking to the Wider View this week, Cllr O'Reilly highlighted how camp fires are posing real dangers to people whose homes back onto the facility.  Frist she began by highlighting that the matter is not specific to Co Cavan and is one that is happening all over the country.
