Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine

Threat of Bark Beetles to Plantations: Discussion

Mr. Barry Delany:

On what the Deputy is calling a review, I am trying to outline clearly that our approach is based on EU plant health regulations, international plant health law, and legal advice we have received so far. Obviously, we have directly received the request for the cessation of trade with Scotland. That advice, in conjunction with close collaboration with the European Commission, is the approach we are taking. We are happy to come back to the committee to consult on that with members and to engage with all the stakeholders on it. As I said, we will have a forest health network-----
