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.
