Cherry laurel is still widely available for sale.
It is still highly invasive, but we are awaiting now the outcome of this risk assessment.
And hopefully in the next year, this plant will be banned, as it should be, because it's doing a lot of damage out there.
Definitely.
No, no, no.
It's very difficult to do.
And that is why it hasn't been banned yet.
There's a lot of stakeholder interest in this plant.
But at the end of the day, we're living in a biodiversity crisis.
So we have to, you know, we have to make some tough decisions.
Not everyone will be happy with the outcome.
But at the end of the day, this is a plant that's damaging nature here in Ireland.
And we're trying to restore nature.
So some hard decisions will have to be made.
Yes, but this is the right decision for nature.
Yeah, definitely.
Again, it's important to come down to what's invasive.
Not everything that people plant in their gardens are invasive.
But for those plants that are invasive, definitely they should not be for sale.
And this again comes down to the designation process.
