I may have picked up the Minister of State incorrectly, but did she state earlier that she had signed off on an environmental grant in forestry? Regarding what was said about a 10 ha mix of hardwood and softwood species, is something in the pipeline that will make it possible to do this without a licence? Under the new results-based environmental agri pilot, REAP, scheme, will it be possible for people to go into forestry and not be penalised for using a piece of land?
