When this application for payment under the Afforestation Scheme was being processed it was noted from the ownership document that part of the lands were subject to turbary rights. These rights should have been identified to the Department when the initial application for pre-approval was submitted. The forestry grant and premium payments cannot be released until such time as the turbary issue is resolved. My Department is in contact with the person concerned in relation to the matter.
