Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine
Threat of Bark Beetles to Plantations: Discussion
Mr. Barry Delany:
As regards our negotiated settlement with the authorities in Scotland, they obviously do not want to be in the position of putting the protected zone of Ireland in jeopardy. That is not to their benefit either. They are very concerned as well. We hope to be able to publicise that settled export arrangement. We will come back to the committee, the IFA and all the stakeholders to discuss that and show exactly how it will deal with the issues raised today, and previously by members.
