Water Environment (Abstractions and Associated Impoundments) Bill 2022: Committee Stage (Resumed)
Seanad Éireann — 2022-11-22
============================================================

Victor Boyhan (IND), Agricultural Panel

I wish to discuss this section's rationale. The IFA believes that section 17 should be deleted because it provides far too many powers to the agency to override the legislation. I share the IFA's concerns, but I look forward to hearing the Minister of State's response.
