Question:

476. Deputy John McGuinness asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine if his officials will re-examine as a matter of urgency the specific land folios in question (details supplied) given that the landowner is adamant that the issues raised by his Department do not affect their lands, the subject of the licence application; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

Written answers

Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine

I refer to the previous PQ referred to which advised that the Department ecologists did a site visit in June 2022 and certain matters arising. My Department contacted the forester employed by the applicant to let him know that there were issues on site on 8th September 2022 and that we will be writing again to him shortly about how best to proceed in relation to these issues.
