Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 14 October 2021
230. Deputy Jackie Cahill asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine if he will include similar metrics as are currently included for the afforestation, roads and felling licences for the ash dieback RUS scheme in the weekly dashboard from his Department from now on; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [50272/21]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe weekly dashboard is provided to give a short concise update on the licences issued for the week and month, along with other related information. As the Reconstitution and Underplanting Scheme (RUS - Ash Dieback) is not a forestry licensed scheme and as the Dashboard is already full we do not propose to include an update on it there.
I will, however, arrange for the publication of RUS metrics monthly on the Department's website in the same location as where we publish other forestry statistical information.
