Extractions: Forest protection The relative disease free status that Ireland's forests currently enjoy requires careful monitoring to ensure that any outbreaks of potentially threatening new organisms are dealt with quickly and effectively. Forest Protection Section has this as one of its objectives as well as the provision of a diagnostic advisory service on control methods for a wide range of insect pests, diseases and competing vegetation. The section's laboratory is also the National Forest Protection Laboratory for Ireland with the function of identifying and maintaining a database on forest pests and diseases. Current projects being undertaken by the section include: Pest and Disease Management aimed at developing cost-effective pest management strategies for the known range of pests and diseases and also developing and maintaining the capability to deal with pest and disease outbreaks. Annual monitoring of forest condition as part of an EU-wide study to provide quantitative data on the vitality of the Union's forests.

The Animal Biosecurity Group has developed policies and standards that are vital to protecting the health of our animal populations, and the long-term success of these industries. The group, in consultation with both government agencies and industry representatives, has established guidelines for identifying and managing risks to animal biosecurity. This is essential in order to promote confidence in both overseas and national markets of our high standard of animal health. The effective exclusion of exotic animal disease and pests is maintained through a comprehensive and carefully regulated system of agreed import standards and border controls. Ongoing surveillance pro-grammes are designed to detect pest or disease incursions and provide ongoing evidence of the high health status of our animal populations.
