The Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine received the application referenced in December 2019.A Forestry District Inspector made a site visit on 30thJanuary and this is referenced in the Inspectors Certification report, which may be viewed on the Forestry Licence Viewer.

This application was advertised on my Department’s website on 20thDecember and was open for public consultation from that date. The licence issued on 3rdMarch, 2020 and 28 days were provided for appeal to the independent Forestry Appeals Committee.  The decision was advertised on my Department’s website.  No appeal was received.

I am satisfied therefore that the application procedures were followed in full from application to the issuing of the licence.
