534. Deputy Michael Fitzmaurice asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine further to Parliamentary Question No. 963 of 11 May 2021, if his previous answer is accepting that the screening process was not carried out correctly in relation to the case outlined (details supplied); and if he will make a statement on the matter. [27546/21]
View answerThe Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine fully accepts the decision of the Forestry Appeals Committee (FAC) in the case of the person named in the case supplied.
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 reassessed taking account of other plans or projects.
