Forestry Sector
Dail Éireann — 2021-11-09
============================================================

Richard O'Donoghue (IND), Limerick County

I ask the Minister to note that forestry is the easiest solution to sequester carbon. What financial solution will be offered to foresters who are affected by ash dieback? Landowners were advised by Teagasc to leave conventional farming and to use an ideal solution for farming in ash, oak and elder. These were the hardwoods recommended by Teagasc.
