Mr. FIELD
asked the Vice-President of the Department of Agriculture (Ireland) what measures, if any, are being taken to prevent the wholesale cutting down of trees in Ireland; whether he is aware that Wicklow County is being specially denuded of trees; and whether the Department intend to take any measures on this matter?
Mr. DUKE
I would refer the hon. Member to the reply given to his question on this subject on 26th February, to which I am not in a position to add anything. The Department of Agriculture are not aware that County Wicklow is being denuded of timber to a greater extent comparatively than other counties.
