The €2,000 site clearance grant for farmers impacted by ash dieback is "clearly not covering it" according to the IFA forestry chairperson.
The Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine (DAFM) is to review the site clearance costs for farmers impacted by ash dieback.
The outcome of the first ash dieback taskforce meeting has been met with strong criticism from some of its members.
Minister of State in the DAFM, Pippa Hackett said there was "constructive engagement" at the first meeting of the ash dieback taskforce.
