Threat of Bark Beetles to Plantations: Discussion
Joe Flaherty (Longford-Westmeath, Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source
Mr. Delany specifically addressed the point of a ban on importations. I accept the arguments he made regarding the practicalities of that, but I specifically asked whether the Department would undertake a review to look at the safeguards we have in place at present and whether they are sufficient, and to provide us with that report as quickly as possible. That will give assurance to the commercial industry and to growers that we have sufficient safeguards in place. Is that possible?
