Deputy Michael Fitzmaurice asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine further to Parliamentary Question No. 1112 of 28 April 2021, if a particular case (details supplied) was set aside and remitted back to him due to the fact that the screening process was not done correctly; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

Written answers

The case in question was remitted back to the Department because the Forestry Appeals Committee (FAC) believed there was insufficient evidence before it regarding other plans or projects that should be considered during the screening process.

When screening for Appropriate Assessment, it is necessary to take into account other plans and projects and to properly record these on the file. As there was no record of this before the FAC, the application was set aside and remitted to the Department to be re assessed taking account of other plans or projects.
