264. To ask the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine if a person (details supplied) is eligible to draw forestry premium on lands, as no premium has been drawn down on this land in the past; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [17677/16]

I would refer the Deputy to my response of 17 May 2016 to PQ 9853/16. There is no record of an application having been received from the person named under the Afforestation Grant and Premium Scheme. Consequently, if this land is already afforested payment of premiums under the Scheme does not arise. If the land has yet to be afforested it is open to the person named to make an application under the Scheme and, as previously advised, he should contact a registered forester or forestry company, details of which are available on the Departments website, about the submission of an application.
