Mr. Barry Delany:

Up until Brexit, there was free trade of this material. As it was classed as a pest-free area, it was free to move within Europe to the other pest-free area, which was Ireland. That was free movement but we had a number of checks within that. I am now saying that in 2024 in Ireland, we will do 100% of checks on each and every consignment that comes through.

With regard to looking at a consignment of 1,000 tonnes of logs and how that is done, we try to follow the international protocol, which gives a 95% confidence of finding a certain percentage of infestation.
