asked the Minister for Lands if he will state the annual acreage target for afforestation of the present Government.
Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Target for Afforestation.
The annual planting target has not yet been finally decided. The Deputy is aware that I informed the House last week that the whole question of forestry development prospects is at present being examined by the Government in the light, inter alia, of the F.A.O. report furnished last year. It is the Government's policy to secure that the maximum area of suitable land be afforested.
