Forestry
Forestry planting levels have yet to gain any momentum from the improvement in afforestation licensing, according to SEEFA.
DAFM has granted 522 licenses under the Reconstitution of Ash Dieback Scheme so far this year, covering 1,900ha
TD Mattie McGrath has said that the forestry figures published by the DAFM for 2023 highlights 'ministerial incompetence'
The Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine (DAFM) published its forestry licencing plan for 2024 today
SEEFA has said it is "imperative" that there is a "substantial improvement" in forestry licensing in 2024, compared to this year.
FII have said that climate change targets for the agriculture and land use sector will not be met with planting at 2,000ha at the moment
