The Minister of State, Deputy Tom Hayes, who is seated beside the Minister, will be able to explain to him that forestry planting applications for grants have been held up by the Department pending the completion of work by the National Parks and Wildlife Service on planting permissions. Given that the Department is holding up applications in another area, it is possible for it do so in this case. I will rephrase my earlier question. Is it intended to suspend further consideration of or decisions on salmon farm applications pending the finalisation of the case to which I refer, which is entirely related to sea lice in farm salmon?
