I propose to take Questions Nos. 420 and 421 together.

My Department does not routinely keep records of the number of further information requests that issue on forestry licence applications.  

However, for the week commencing 23rd May 2022, we issued 26 Further Information Requests concerning private felling licences and 6 Further Information Requests concerning private forest road applications.

Registered Foresters were advised of additional information that is likely to be required to process applications for felling, roads and afforestation in Circular 08/2021, which is also available on my Department’s website.  Applicants in consultation with their Registered Forester should review this circular in relation to applications in the system and future applications.
