My Department compiles a number of different afforestation statistics which are available on my Department's website including the National Forest Inventory Results Data which are an invaluable source of statistical information on Ireland’s forest estate.

The area of forestry in each county is indicated in the table, which is taken from the National Forest Inventory.
