Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine

As part of the processing of applications under the Forest Roads Scheme, the views of designated consultation bodies must be sought before approval can be given. In this case the views of the Southern Regional Fisheries Board, Cork County Council and the National Parks and Wildlife Service have been sought. As soon as their observations are received, a decision will be made on the application of the person named.
