Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine
Afforestation and the Forestry Sector: Discussion
Mr. Barry Delany:
It is not only tied in with this. They have a bank of files they are working through. That is the output for approved files. As the Deputy knows, there are 500 afforestation files at present. They have to go through further information requests that take time. They may have to go to a site and do an investigation themselves to take the burden off the foresters with regard to supplying habitat maps or other additional ecology information.
