Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine
Challenges for the Forestry Sector: Department of Agriculture and the Marine
Mr. Seamus Dunne:
Yes. That is part of their job. Forestry inspectors do the initial screening. Sometimes they get advice from our ecologists before concluding that. Our standard operating procedure, SOP, is in the public domain and tables around the standard operating procedure, which we issue to the trade that highlight this, are in the public domain. The companies in the sector know our screening procedures. The initial screening is done by the district inspectors.
