913. Deputy Michael Healy-Rae asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine the measures that will be taken to address concerns in relation to forestry planted near a property in County Kerry (details supplied); and if he will make a statement on the matter. [47952/23]
View answerThe case in question involves non-compliance with replanting orders previously issued by the Department to a Licensee on lands adjacent to Mr. O Sullivan’s home. There are a number of different issues involved.
The site in question has recently been reinspected and a revised replanting order will be issued to the Licensee involved in the coming days to help move towards compliance. Non-compliance with replanting Orders is an offence and may result in legal proceedings by the Department.
DAFM will be in contact with Mr. O Sullivan to discuss the case and related issues with him directly.
