Vol. 174 No. 4

Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Achill Forestry Land.

21.

asked the Minister for Lands if he will arrange for a fresh inspection of all lands in the vicinity of Achill, County Mayo, which have been offered to the Forestry Division for afforestation purposes.

As a result of investigations on the ground, my Department is satisfied that the land offered for forestry purposes in the Achill area is unsuitable for afforestation.

Severe exposure to Atlantic gales constitutes an insurmountable obstacle to forestry development in the Achill area.
