It’s a great little video. Crazy the banana republicanism of it all. And the needless destruction of our environment

“The Coillte Effect is a deep dive into the hidden truth behind Ireland’s forestry policy — and the semi-state body tasked with managing it.
This episode exposes how Coillte, a for-profit logging company, has shaped Ireland’s forests into silent monocultures, prioritising short-term profits over long-term ecological health.
We explore how native woodlands were replaced with fast-growing Sitka spruce plantations, how public land was quietly sold to an English investment fund, and why Ireland now has the lowest native forest cover in Europe.
This is not just a story about trees — it’s a story about land, ownership, accountability, and the quiet erosion of our national resources.
Ireland was once a rainforest. It can be again. But only if we take back control.

AI thumbnail?
AI Thumbnail does not inspire confidence in the video.
Ths AI thumbnail is gross if you look at it for more than a second. Way to undercut his own video 😅
This guy is putting up some very good content in my opinion, AI thumbnail or no.
