Here is one such tender for rhododendron clearance at Connemara National Park, Letterfrack, Co. Galway.
Description: The Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage invites tenders to this request for tenders (RFT) for rhododendron clearance at Connemara National Park in an area of c105 ha in total over six Lots and the retreatment of previously cleared areas as a single Lot (c201 ha). CNP lies immediately southeast of the village of Letterfrack, Co. Galway. It covers approximately 2000 ha. The park consists of mountain habitats, woodlands, and rivers.
