Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 9 September 2021
1587. Deputy Holly Cairns asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine further to Parliamentary Question No. 1275 of 31 March 2021, if he will make available the Forestry District Inspector’s report from their site visit on 30 January 2021. [42769/21]
View answerThe Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine received the application referenced in December 2019. A Forestry District Inspector made a site visit on 30th January and this is referenced in the Inspectors Certification report, which may be viewed on the Forestry Licence Viewer.
This application was advertised on my Department’s website on 20th December and was open for public consultation from that date. The licence issued on 3rd March, 2020 and 28 days were provided for appeal to the independent Forestry Appeals Committee. The decision was advertised on my Department’s website. No appeal was received.
I am satisfied therefore that the application procedures were followed in full from application to the issuing of the licence.
