196. Deputy Michael Healy-Rae asked the Minister for Agriculture; Food and the Marine if forestry grants for the plantation of trees will continue into the future; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [43517/12]
View answerFunding for forestry in 2013, like every other item in my Department’s budget, will be determined in the context of ongoing discussions on the framing of the 2013 Budget. I am committed to achieving the highest possible level of funding for forestry into the future, to ensure a sustainable and viable industry, and to provide attractive incentives to farmers and other landowners to plant their land.
