Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate, Environment and Energy
Review of Storm Éowyn and Storm Preparedness: Discussion
2:00 am
Mr. Nicholas Tarrant:
That is part of what would be included from our recommendation perspective on the legislation. It would keep corridors free for electricity overhead lines for new forestry and where there is existing forestry with overhead lines. If trees are being cut in a forest for forestry corridors, it is subject to licences. Mr. Brady might say more about that and the assessments. It is a complex area. There are assessments to be done around cutting.
