asked the Minister for Lands if he will state the acreage of ash planted in each county for each of the years from 1952 to 1956, inclusive.
Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Planting of Ash.
The total number of ash trees planted in State forests in each of the years mentioned by the Deputy was as follows:—
|
Year |
Number of trees |
Acreage |
|
1952/53 |
101,200 |
84 |
|
1953/54 |
71,400 |
59 |
|
1954/55 |
129,900 |
107 |
|
1955/56 |
218,000 |
181 |
It would involve the expenditure of an undue amount of official time to extract figures for the planting of ash for each county as required by the Deputy. If he is interested in any particular region I shall be happy to have figures for that region supplied to him.
