Amharc ar fhreagraFunding for forestry in 2013, like every other item in my Department’s budget, will be determined in the context of ongoing discussions on the framing of the 2013 Budget. I am committed to achieving the highest possible level of funding for forestry into the future, to ensure a sustainable and viable industry, and to provide attractive incentives to farmers and other landowners to plant their land.
