Abstract

The Regulations amend principal Regulations of 1981 to permit the immediate and controlled supply and use of aldrin to control a severe attack of vine weevil on gooseberries and blackcurrants on a farm in County Wexford. Treatment must be undertaken as a matter of urgency to prevent the spread of the larvae to a stage where they will no longer be susceptible to chemicals. Unless controlled now the pest will wipe out the fruit plantation within 9 months.
