Both applications by the persons named required consultation with the National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS) because of the potential environmental impact of the proposed plantations. My Department has been in contact with the NPWS with a view to expediting the return of their observations on the proposals and it is understood that these should be available very shortly. The applications will be considered further as soon as the observations are received.
