Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine

Challenges for the Forestry Sector: Department of Agriculture and the Marine

Mr. Seamus Dunne:

My understanding of the schedules in the planning regulations that outline the provision on the replacement of broadleaf high forest is that there was no change to date and that the area threshold remained. I am well aware of SI 45/2020, but that statutory instrument did not repeal the schedules in SI 600. I can certainly clarify that with our colleagues in housing and get back to Deputy Browne on that, but that is our interpretation of it.
