Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine

Farm Foresty Partnership Agreements: Discussion

3:30 pm

Mr. Gerard Murphy:

It can be both. It can be bare land. In certain cases, we may sell land that has forest on it or bare land. Usually it is sold in small parcels of land which we have handled for years where there might be multiples of the value for that land offered. We have a policy of replacing that by buying or planting new forests. Our overall objective is still to maintain and enhance the overall forest cover of the estate.
