    The largest plantation of eucalyptus in Britain and Ireland is on the east side of Carrick Mountain Glenealy Co. Wicklow. It is a Coillte forest. I suggest contacting Coillte about this and other plantations they may have.

    theres was a coillte plantation in wexford near gorey i think, it was cleared about 3 years ago and a lot of research was done on it by waterford institute of technology under tom kent who is the course leader of forestry down there

    might be of interest to you how the regeneration is going down there now, especially after frosts like the recent ones
