As noted in Parliamentary Question No. 522, the person named has two contracts for Afforestation. Planting has commenced under the first contract and the second has technical approval. 

It should be noted that technical approval on the second contract will expire on 30th June 2017 and if the applicant wishes to proceed with planting and receive grant aid, Form 1A must be submitted to and approved by the Forest Service, prior to commencement of works.
