Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine
Forestry Sector: Discussion (Resumed)
Mr. Brendan Gleeson:
We have employed ten new ecologists to deal with afforestation licences and our ambition is to get up to 20 licences a week. I am not sure I can give the Deputy a hectarage for that but we also have 5,700 ha of licensed afforestation in the system. I am sure it frustrates him when we say that but it is factually correct.
