225.

To date, 469 felling licences have been issued to Coillte for its plantations that were damaged as a result of the February 2014 storms. For efficiency of processing, 399 of these licence applications were submitted as a batch while the remaining 70 applications were submitted individually. A list showing all Coillte felling licences issued as a result of storm damage follows. The list shows Licence number, Townland and County for each application. As the copying and collating of forestry inspectors’ reports for all 469 applications will take some time, these reports will be forwarded to the Deputy as soon as possible.
