Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine
Threat of Bark Beetles to Plantations: Discussion
Mr. Damian McDonald:
We would like a temporary ban because we do not have confidence in the present regime. We accept that, as the delegates have outlined, not everybody in the sector agrees with that. Obviously, it would have consequences for some of the sawmills. We see no reason we cannot move ahead with a task force straight away. I cannot see any logic for not doing that.
