Deputy Matt Carthy asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine the number of further information requests for Coillte forest road applications issued by his Department for the week commencing 23 May, in tabular form; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

Amharc ar fhreagraI propose to take Questions Nos. 1953 and 1954 together.
The Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine does not routinely keep records of the number of further information requests that issue on forestry licence applications. However, for the week commencing 23rd May 2022, one Further Information Request was issued concerning Coillte felling licences and no Further Information Requests concerning Coillte forest road applications.Registered Foresters were advised of additional information that is likely to be required to process applications for felling , roads and afforestation in Circular 08/2021, which is also available on my Department’s website. Applicants in consultation with their Registered Forester should review this circular in relation to applications in the system and future applications.
