Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 30 September 2021
389. Deputy Kieran O'Donnell asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine the status of a felling licence application by a person (details supplied); if the licence will be expedited; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [47367/21]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe Department recently completed the initial ecological assessment on a tree felling licence application for the person named. The application was then made opened for public consultation. That 30 days consultation has now closed and the application has been reassigned to the Department’s Ecology Unit.
The ecological assessment will now be completed, and the application will be returned for final review, recommendations and decision. I expect a decision to issue shortly.
