Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 24 July 2018
1929. Deputy Eugene Murphy asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine if a situation in which a person (details supplied) will now be subject to forestry plantation on four sides of their home without consultation will be investigated; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [33659/18]
View answerThe decision on an afforestation licence application was issued to the person named as they had made a submission on that application. They then appealed the decision to the Forestry Appeals Committee (FAC). The afforestation licence has been suspended and no work can commence on site until such time as the FAC has determined the outcome of the appeal.
The FAC is independent of my Department, and as such, I cannot intervene in the progress of an appeal. The FAC will be in touch with all parties concerned.
