A Cork company could help to eliminate the
deadly ash dieback disease that is killing ash trees. That’s the view of the
Fine Gael MEP Sean Kelly. He says the Cork based Treemetrics company has the
technology and knowhow to help tackle the disease through their satellite and
online technologies. Ash dieback is a
potentially fatal disease of ash trees that is caused by a fungus that has
spread rapidly across Europe. Mr Kelly says the production of hurleys could be
affected if ash trees in Ireland are impacted by the disease. And he’s
encouraging the GAA to help Treemetrics to access areas where ash trees are
grown.
