Great to open the International Day of Plant Health 2024 Conference overlooking a busy Dublin Port. As an open economy, we are at risk from pests & diseases - @agriculture_ie is responsible for ensuring our risk is minimised, and that we act quickly when an outbreak occurs. #SDGs

Tonight on "Mooney Goes Wild" (RTE Radio One at 10pm) I take a stroll along the Tolka river and chat with Prof. Joe Caffrey about his new book: Aquatic Plants in Ireland, a Photographic Guide. An excellent companion to have on a river or canal walk. @NatureRTE #Rivers

Following extensive engagement with Scottish Forestry concerning the certification of coniferous roundwood (spruce) from the Pest Free Area (PFA) significant new measures are being introduced to provide additional protection for Irish forests.

Was great to work with Joe and Ronan and the other contributors on this book (I'm responsible for the bryophyte section). It was a very professional team and is going to be a fabulous resource for botanists and ecologists.

Importing native trees brings unnecessary biosecurity risks. Have we learned nothing from chalara ash dieback? Hawthorn is easy to propagate. If numbers are not available now, we should be waiting for nurseries to catch up. @noonan_malcolm @pippa_hackett

🔎Key messages fom the new @IPBES #InvasiveAlienSpecies Report ⤵️🌱
Prevention is the best option, but early detection, eradication, containment & control are also effective in specific contexts.🤔

🗓️ Two weeks ago @IPBES published its major #InvasiveAlienSpecies report.
The report highlights risks and damages, but also tools for effective management to prevent biological invasions and the worst impacts of invasive alien species ipbes.net/IASmediarelease @UKLadybirds

Invasive Species have HUGE impacts #ipbes10
✨60% of recorded extinctions are due at least in part to invasive species
✨Known costs are annually in the U$D billions, but likely in the trillions
✨Costs are increasing 4X per decade
✨Invasions have deep impact on quality of life

Invasive species can be spread with movement of soil & stone. To address this risk, the @DeptHousingIRL issued ‘Ireland’s Invasive Alien Species Pathway Action Plan 2023 -2027’ for public consultation see: invasives.ie/biosecurity/pat…
