asked the Minister for Fisheries and Forestry his Department's tree planting programme for 1983 in County Donegal.
Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Donegal Tree Planting Programme.
5.
It is expected that an aggregate area of 765 hectares — 1890 acres — will be planted in 21 forests in County Donegal during the current planting season. The corresponding area for the last season was 733 hectares — 1,812 acres.
I should like to ask the Minister if he anticipates that the 765 hectares will be planted before the end of the year?
The answer is "yes".
If the Minister is that definite will he tell the House how many acres have been planted to date?
I do not have that information. The question was in relation to the planting programme for 1983 and that envisages the planting of 765 hectares.
