View answerAs I advised in Dáil Question number 810 of 8th February, forest road applications are received and decided daily. Applications received from Coillte are treated the same as applications from private individuals. I also advised the Deputy that for weekending 28th January, 11 road licences were issued to private applicants and four were issued to Coillte.
In the month of January, 76 forest road licences issued, 36 to private applicants and 40 to Coillte. In weekending 4th February, five private and eight Coillte road licences were issued.
