I propose to take Questions Nos. 424 and 425 together.

The Expenditure for the Forestry Division of my Department for the month of September 2022 versus September 2021 is as follows;

September 2021 September 2022
€2,108,435 €2,437,259
The spending in September this year, and in the overall year to date is in excess of the same period last year. The spend for September 2022 is slightly behind the profiled amount of €2,707,968. The remainder of the forestry budget has been apportioned to meet anticipated budgetary needs during the year and will continue to be closely monitored.
