The felling of trees is a matter for the Forest Service of the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine who issue tree felling licences and deal with unauthorised tree felling. Any question of a breach of the Wildlife Acts is a matter for my colleague, the Minister for Arts, Heritage, Regional Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs.
