492. Deputy Brendan Griffin asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine if he will provide a forestry reinstatement grant to persons (details supplied) whose forestry was damaged in a storm in February 2014; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [17247/16]
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.
