The Forest Service is responsible for ensuring the development of Forestry within Ireland in a manner and to a scale that maximises its contribution to national socio-economic well-being on a sustainable basis that is compatible with the protection of the environment.
In this section you can learn more about the services, supports and information available from the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine for this sector.
The Forestry Licence Viewer is an online tool that provides information on forestry licence applications. The Viewer allows the user to search by application reference number; select an application from the recent applications list; or, to simply zoom in on a site.
This is the second phase of the project, which provides application documentation. Documentation will be made available for applications received from 11th January, 2021, when they are opened for public consultation. An additional tab will become available when a site is selected, where the user will be presented with the available documents, which can be opened to read. Further documents will appear when the application is decided, which is when the full suite of assessment and other documents become available.
Submissions received on forestry licence applications will be uploaded to the viewer as they are received and processed.
The Viewer will be released in phases. Phase 1 was released on 1st December, 2020. The next phase will provide a facility to make a submission on a forestry licence application and to pay the fee, which will be released later this spring.
