I refer the Deputy to his question raised last October, (41679/18 – Dáil Question No 153), in which he requested the same data.
The area of land afforested in each county is indicated in the table below, which is taken from the third NFI. The area of forest is estimated to be 770,020 ha or 11% of the total land area of Ireland (NFI 2017).
