Independent review of ash dieback scheme to be carried out
It is over a decade since the first case of ash dieback was detected in Co Leitrim.
An independent review of the Department of Agriculture's ash dieback support scheme is to be carried out.Â
A group has been tasked to review the existing and previous supports available to landowners with ash plantations funded under the National Forestry Programme which are now infected with Chalara and will make recommendations on these supports to Minister Pippa Hackett within three months.
