Forestry Sector: Motion [Private Members]
Dail Éireann — 2023-01-24
============================================================

Richard O'Donoghue (IND), Limerick County

No, it tells them to reinvest in forestry. There is a beetle in Germany that is wiping out spruce trees but, like ash dieback, the Government will sit on its hands until that beetle arrives here to wipe out forestry. At that point, it will throw the farmers to the wolves once again. That is its circular economy.
