PQ 1238
1238. Deputy Ryan O'Meara asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine to introduce a replanting grant for windblown forests in recognition of the fact that the less-mature timber that fell during Storm Éowyn will now be sold at a lesser price than anticipated by the farmer had the forests fully matured, given that replating is going to be more expensive than usual as additional rehabilitation works will be required on lands where trees were knocked during the storm and considering it is only fair that farmers are financially assisted when the price of their crop is reduced while the cost of replating is increased; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
