Comparisons between forestry in Scotland and Ireland are inevitable, not least because of similarities between the development of the forestry and forest products sectors in both countries. These include approaches to afforestation, tree species mix and silvicultural practices.
These have been highlighted in recent years, especially since the 2019 Mackinnon review of declining afforestation in Ireland, which drew on a similar exercise carried out by Jim Mackinnon in Scotland. This was followed by the appointment of Jo O’Hara last year to advise on the implementation of the Mackinnon review in Ireland.
