‹ Order of Business Ash disease and forestry legislation
Summary
Mattie McGrath raises the threat to ash trees and hurley production from forestry inaction. The Taoiseach says the forestry Bill is on the legislative list for this session.
I raise an issue that is very important to the people of Tipperary, being part of a proud hurling tradition. The Ceann Comhairle would know all about this seeing as his bean chéile comes from Tipperary. There is huge concern among hurlers and hurley makers-----
Comment on this
I am talking about the forestry Bill, in regard to the inaction of Coillte and foresters in the matter of the epidemic affecting ash trees. It would be terrible if we had to play an All-Ireland Final against Kilkenny with plastic hurleys.
