Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine

The only felling licences issued in respect of tree felling in the townland of Jenkinstown were two General Felling licences issued to Coillte in 2009 and both of which expired in April 2014. There were no licences issued in respect of storm damaged trees in this townland.
