Is this a eucalyptus?

If this is a eucalyptus then Vincent Carmody might have discovered why it is bare of leaves in the height of summer.
Vincent writes:

"In your blog of 31/6 you had a photograph of a bare tree in the Towm Park and posed the question, why is it bare ? Is it a eucalyptus tree? if so, the answer is on page 1 of today's Irish Examiner Farming section.

This contains an article on Beetle pest, part of which states,

"It is the first leaf beetle of its kind to become established in Europe, and was initially discovered damaging foliage crops in Kerry in 2007. It is now commonly found in many areas of Co. Cork.Predictions of the pattern of spread suggest that it only a matter of time before it is established throughout the island, posing a bio-security risk also to the U.K. and mainland Europe. The colourful beetle defoliates eucalyptus trees and even small amounts of damage renders renders eucalyptus foliage crops unmarketable." 

So now you know, if it is a eucalyptus tree.... if not, one can learn something new everyday !!!"

Creator	Department of Finance
	Administrative History/Biography Past responsibilities of the Department of Finance have included fiscal, budgetary and economic policy; taxation (from 1923); the preparation and auditing of the national accounts and the annual budget, the collection of revenue and expenditure by government agencies, exchequer accounts and payrolls; the management of the Civil Service including recruitment, staffing, establishment, promotion, remuneration and conditions, pensions, conciliation and arbitration; the preparation and examination of Bills; economic forecasting, planning and development (from 1959); European Union policy co-ordination and the European Union budget and funds. It was allocated responsibility in January and April 1922 for the control of a wide number of agencies taken over from the previous administration and is currently directly responsible for overseeing the administration of the Revenue Commissioners, the Office of Public Works, the Civil Service Commission, the Valuation Office, the Ordnance Survey, the State Laboratory and the Office of the Ombudsman and Information Commissioner. The initial official designation of the Department under the Provisional Government (1922) was ´Finance and General´, but the title never seems to have been used.

Official titles of offices were not formally settled until the Ministers and Secretaries Act 1924, when the title the Department of Finance [or An Roinn Airgid in Irish] was established. The Department can also trace part of its provenance to the Dáil Éireann Department of Finance.
