Charlie McConalogue (Donegal, Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source

I do not have a member of the forestry team with me today but I will certainly get a direct response to the Deputy on that issue. I know that with regard to biosecurity, and particularly the threat from the bark beetle on the British isle, there is very strict assessment and scrutiny of any imports. They are only coming from the exclusive area in western Scotland but it is something we are monitoring very closely. It is also something that comes under the wider European biosecurity umbrella and standard. We are very alert to it, and I will get the Deputy a specific answer on the issue regarding her own constituency.
