‹ Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Private Afforestation. EEC directive on afforestation
Summary
Asked about the EEC directive, the Minister said he was keeping informed but that his Department had not settled a view. He said the directive would be considered alongside future grant changes.
Would the Minister accept that the financial provision in respect of this last year was merely £25,000 and that he has not, even though he says the scheme is attractive, made any provision for any increase in this year's Estimate? The sum is still £25,000.

Would the Minister indicate what view his Department are taking of the EEC directive?
Comment on this
We are not indicating any view at the moment. Account is taken of all EEC directives and they will be weighed in the balance when further changes are made in grants.
