1194. Deputy Michael Healy-Rae asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine further to Parliamentary Question No. 1142 of 2 May 2017, if he will provide an update (details supplied); and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35751/17]
Amharc ar fhreagraAs the matter involves a third party's land and his utilisation of a felling licence, my Department would require the individual himself or his representative to contact the Department to discuss his obligations under the felling licence.
As previously advised, all forestry plantations are subject to the requirements of the Forestry Act 2014. Applications for licences to fell and to plant forestry must be made through the Forest Service of my Department, and any obligations and/or conditions attached to a granted licence must be carried out to its satisfaction.
