Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action
Forestry and Climate Change: Discussion
Mr. Mark Carlin:
We are following afforestation and reforestation best practice guidelines. Where a lot of our old forest was planted too close to roads and infrastructure, we are correcting that through our forest planning for the second rotation. We will keep to the same setbacks as with afforestation, that is, 60 m for dwellings and roads.
