Mr. Brendan Gleeson:

We pay farmers a 15-year premium, with different rates for different species, the highest being for broadleaf species and native species. We pay an establishment grant, which is essentially about covering the costs of establishment. We have various others sub-programmes, on which can give the Deputy note or explain further, if she wishes. We do not distinguish between farmers and non-farmers in the context of the availability of those grants and we do not give them to public bodies like Coillte, so it does not get grants. For example, if Deputy Murphy owned 20 ha of land and wanted to plant forestry on them, she would get the same grants as a farmer.
