Vol. 401 No. 4

Written Answers. - Broadleaf Trees Grants.

Eamon Gilmore

Ceist:

137 Mr. Gilmore asked the Minister for Energy when he will introduce increased forestry grants and annual premium payments to encourage increased planting of broadleaf trees.

Annual premium payments, which are specially designed to encourage the increased planting of broadleaves, have already been introduced and apply to planting undertaken since 18 June 1989.

My Department's forestry operational programme makes provision for a substantial increase in the grants for the planting of broadleaves. I intend that planting completed on or after 1 July 1990 will qualify for the increased grant rate, full details of which I will be announcing shortly.
