Following an inspection of the proposed felling site by the Forest Inspector for the area the application has been referred, on his recommendation, to the National Parks and Wildlife Service for their consideration of the environmental impact of the proposed felling. I understand that NPWS have recently inspected the site and their inspection has raised substantial environmental considerations that are being further examined at a senior level in NPWS. Following completion of their investigations and receipt of their final report, my Department will be in a position to make a decision on the granting of a tree felling licence for this site.
