    well, using the grant aided forestry scheme from DAFM comes with its limitations, they will specify over 2000 plants per hectare for a start, you must use a registered forester, and fencing and maintenance have exacting requirements.

    If you use a spade or hire a spade man, then plants are cheap from none so hardy nurseries https://nonesohardy.ie/pricelist/

    ground preparation on good soil is cheapest using rips otherwise mounding gives the trees a great start. I have no knowledge of the costs involved here perhaps others will chime in.
