Ireland’s forestry licences system is often defended by Department officials as complying with EU regulations. Now it has been revealed by the IFA’s Geraldine O’Sullivan that Ireland’s felling licence process is draconian compared with EU countries.
Felling licences are not required in Sweden, Germany and France. In the Walloon region of Belgium, no felling licence is required for thinning or clearfells less than 3ha for hardwoods and 5ha for softwoods. While felling licences can take up to three years to obtain in Ireland, Belgian authorities ensure permits are granted in 30 days in Wallonia and 60 days in Flanders.

Alone we can do little, together we can do so much is just one of the many inspirational quotes within a new book, Valuing Volunteering in Kerry 2020 , which has just been launched.
Thanks to the wonderful dedication and kindness of the thousands of volunteers in Kerry, the lives of our communities have been enriched, both before and during the COVID-19 pandemic, and the new book aims to showcase just how important they are to the fabric of Kerry.
The Kerry Volunteer Centre came up with the idea of a photo exhibition of volunteers prior to the pandemic, but plans had to change. Instead, they decided to produce a book, available in hard-copy and in an e-book format, showcasing images of just a small sample of the volunteers who do so much to help others across the county.
