The person named in the details has made an application to my Department for afforestation grants. Approval for grant aid has been refused under the Forestry Environmental Protection Scheme as insufficient land has been planted to qualify for aid under the terms of the scheme. A decision has yet to be made regarding payment of afforestation grants for the area already planted as an on the ground inspection is necessary to clarify certain issues. The inspection will be made as soon as possible. A Solicitor in my Department is in ongoing contact with a Solicitor for the person named.
