The felling licence, applied for by the applicant,was issued to him on 12 January 2012. It was sent to the address for correspondence specified by him on the licence application form. The application was made in August 2011 but had to be referred for observations to Forestry Inspectorate and then to the National Parks and Wildlife Service before the Forest Service could issue the licence. I am informed that a query, received from the applicant on 16 April 2012, was replied to by the Forest Service on 17 April 2012 informing him that the licence was dispatched in January 2012.
