Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate, Environment and Energy
Climate Change Targets 2026-2030: Discussion (Resumed)
2:00 am
Mr. Bill Callanan:
There has been a growth in solar farms. There is a commitment in terms of the development of planning guidelines. That is not within our Department's remit, but a matter for the Department of housing. Relative volumes and areas would not be challenging in terms of incorporation from a forestry point of view. I would not see them as diminishing the land available for afforestation in any way.
