Threat of Bark Beetles to Plantations: Discussion

Mr. Francie Gorman:

It is the spruce bark beetle and the eight-toothed bark beetle. The fear we have is that within a few miles of the border of the pest-free area where the timber comes from in Scotland, there is evidence that the bark beetle has infested forestry. That is of huge concern to us. Ms O'Sullivan might like to come in on that.
