View answerI propose to take Questions Nos. 779, 785 and 786 together.
The Deputy is aware of the €1.3 billion funding that I secured for the new programme. The table below outlines the planned capital and current expenditure in the years 2023-2027. The Capital allocation from 2024 onwards will be determined as part of the annual budgetary process, with the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform. A significant increase in allocation has already been provided for 2023 in this regard.
The Deputy will note that the allocation and projected spending in each year includes provision to discharge the liability on the current Afforestation Scheme and older Legacy Schemes. The remainder funds the new afforestation programme and support schemes.
