Following enquiries received, it is important that HCAP Candidates in the process of undertaking assessment and certification (but not yet certified) be aware that it is Coillte’s policy that only holders of the HCAP qualification can hold a licence to hunt deer on Coillte lands. Tenders may be accepted and evaluated for persons who have partially completed the HCAP on the clear understanding that if successful that they will be required to pay the licence fee in full by the given date of payment, however no Permits will be issued for this licence (and therefore it may not be legally exercised) until such time as the HCAP has been completed.
