Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine's Response to Ash Dieback: Limerick and Tipperary Woodland Owners

Mr. Simon White:

It would cost between €400 million and €1 billion to deal with it, if people were to be fully compensated. I dare say we will not be, but something has to be done to help people to do it. People who have lost everything cannot be expected to pay for it.
