- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Ash Dieback and its Impact on the Private Forestry Sector: Discussion (22 Jun 2022)
Paul Daly: I welcome the witnesses and thank them for their update. The one thing they have confirmed is that nothing has changed since the last time they were here and nothing has improved. We, the witnesses and the Department were aware at the time that RUS was just a sticking plaster. When the witnesses were here before, while we all saw the seriousness and importance of the issue for them, we...

Paul Daly: We have been talking about the reconstitution and replanting scheme. Mr. White is saying that the €1,000 will not remove what is there and then you are on your own to replant.

Paul Daly: As a species, where is ash now? Is ash gone? I remember asking this when we had officials from the Department in here. They were talking about trying to modify a new breed of ash that would not be affected by ash dieback. I remember asking at the time when a native Irish becomes not a native Irish ash, if you create a new species. Can you get an ash sapling in a nursery at the minute?

Paul Daly: It is okay. I was nearly there anyway. Could I get some more information on the RUS? We might forget about its inadequacies for the moment. There was mention of 64 applicants but did they apply of their own free will? Has anybody drawn it down, irrespective of the fact that what could be drawn down is not going anywhere near compensating them for the project on hand? In other words, has...

Paul Daly: Finally, what about sporadic ash, such as my own ash at home? I presume the sporadic ash tree in hedges and hedgerows is affected likewise.

Paul Daly: I welcome the representatives of HRI. I congratulate Ms Eade on being appointed CEO and wish her the very best in her role. With the exception of one or two questions at the end I shall rigidly stick to seeking information or clarification about some of the points that she made in her presentation. In the Chairman's absence, it was very predictable when Ms Eade spoke of the HRI...
