A felling licence application for the above named was received by my Department on 3^rdApril. It was referred to the National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS) and the local authority, which is standard procedure. A reply has been received from the NPWS and will be reviewed by the Department's Forestry Inspector. The Inspector also requested that the application be referred to the local Inland Fisheries Ireland (IFI) office, as the site is near a sensitive water course for fisheries. The IFI has until 22^ndJune to respond to the Department.
