Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 5 May 2016
33. Deputy Michael Moynihan asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine if there is a scheme to allow for the reconstruction of forestry that suffered wind damage as a result of severe weather conditions; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [9259/16]
View answerApproval to fund a reconstitution scheme for forests affected by the winter storms of 2013/2014 was sought by my Department from the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform. The Department of Public Expenditure and Reform has sought further information on the impacts of such a scheme on the insurance market for forestry and also on other issues of concern. My Department is currently examining these requests.
