    I think you are unfair to refer to either of the above posters as a troll but there was certainly no need for this thread to run to a second page.

    Well, I'm certainly not a troll. If I'm feeding one then apologies :o

    hi,

    sorry for the question but I am looking very long term here. What if you have a hardwood forest. Grants etc are for 20 yrs. Lets say you allow the hardwood to reach maturity or at least 80 to 100 yrs. Thats many years in forestry after the grants stop. Could the land be returned to agriculture then without any need to payback?

    tks

    eamon your asking if the law will be changed in 80 years time:rolleyes:

    but anyway here goes... the very unofficial word i've heard is that if total forestry cover in ireland reaches 20% (was previously told 15%) then the obligation to replant will be changed. almost all plantations will be replanted anyway so the thinking is the cover wont drop very much at all. the best you can do is treat it as the law is now, plant with the knowledge that forestry will have to remain there
