Action plan for ash growers in progress
Minister McConalogue said the Department had initiated actions to eradicate the disease by clearing infected sites and trees that were infected.
A detailed action plan to deal with issues relating to supports for forest owners whose ash plantations were devasted by the dieback disease is being prepared for submission to the Cabinet for approval.
The move by the Department of Agriculture, Food and Marine follows a report by an independent group, which had been tasked by Minister of State Pippa Hackett to review existing supports.
