Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture and Food

Ash Dieback and Other Forestry Issues: Discussion

2:00 am

Mr. Barry Delany:

In the first instance, as part of the new programme that landowner would apply to get his licence and would get a planting grant. That ranges depending on what he plants. If he plants a coniferous mixed height forest, it is approximately €3,500 up to between €9,000 and €10,000 if he goes for agroforestry. If he plants the native broadleaf that goes up to just above €1,200, including fencing.
