18.
Applications for private tree planting grants have been received by the Forestry Division of my Department in the past three years in respect of the planting of a total of 3,630 acres.
Could the Minister indicate what that percentage is as against State planting?
The average State planting has been 25,000 acres consistently for the past four years so that the Deputy can work out the percentage for himself.
