Forestry Bill ‘won’t add to administrative burden’ on landowners

The intention of the new Forestry Bill is not to add to the administrative burden on landowners or other stakeholders in the sector but to streamline and simplify the various processes.

Forestry Minister Tom Hayes gave the assurance when he introduced the Bill (Second Stage) in the Dáil.

He said the systems put in place by his department will be as user-friendly as possible and that no unreasonable demands will be placed on anyone by this legislation.
