Deputy Thomas Pringle asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine the status of a forestry road licence application by a person (details supplied) which has been referred back to his Department by the Forestry Appeals Committee; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

Amharc ar fhreagraI propose to take Questions Nos. 672 and 673 together.
A Forest Road Works licence was issued and subsequently appealed to the Forestry Appeals Committee (FAC). The decision of the FAC was to set aside and remit the licence decision to my Department.
The application has been returned to my Department’s Forestry District Inspector for review and reassessment. The question of right of way will be considered as part of that reassessment. A new decision, when available, will be issued to those concerned, and will, as with all decisions, be subject to the statutory public consultation and appeals process.
