My Department issued a tree felling licence to the person named in 2018 and it is noted from the details provided, that tree felling took place on the site in 2019. 

In general, there are no reforestation grants available on clear fell, as the realisation of the timber asset is considered more than adequate to cover the cost of replanting.  All felling licences carry an obligation to replant the site once felled and this is closely monitored and action taken, if not completed.
