Danny Healy-Rae (IND), Kerry

I wish to raise again with the Taoiseach the forestry industry, sawmills and so forth. They are on their knees. Will the Taoiseach ask the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine to sign off on felling licences? The harvesters, hauliers, the plant hire contractors who build the roads, the sawmills and the planters are all going to be out of work. The people who have put in objections again are few in number. What they have done to all those people is a scandal. If they were in any other country, they would be dealt with in a different way. Will the Government now sign off on the licences?
