The application for a felling licence, which was received on 2nd February 2017, has been reviewed by my Department.  National Parks and Wildlife Service and Inland Fisheries Ireland were also contacted for their observations, which will inform my Department's our recommendations on this application.

These recommendations are expected shortly and the applicant will receive a decision on her licence application by post in the coming days.

It should be noted that there is no fee payable to the Department for a Felling Licence application.  If an individual retains a contractor to carry out the felling operation, this is a private arrangement to which my Department is not a party.
