Forest Strategy Implementation Plan: Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine
Mr. Barry Delany:
The Deputy would receive €2,500 immediately after he has cleared and planted, whether he has a premium or not. That is immediate. He would receive the other €2,500 in the two subsequent years, at the end of his premium cycle. That could be in years four, five or six. The reality is that there is approximately 5,500 ha left belonging to people who have premiums running up to about 2034.
