Forestry (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2020: Committee and Remaining Stages
Seanad Éireann — 2020-09-25
============================================================

Victor Boyhan (IND), Agricultural Panel

I will refer to the just transition submission that we did not get, but which relates absolutely to this matter and has been signed off by members of the Minister of State's party. It relates to amendments Nos. 3, 5, 10, 95 and 97, for the purposes of keeping everyone on focus. The members of the environmental pillars have asked us to pursue this matter. The Minister of State tells me nothing has changed and she tries to reassure us that this is all covered in the Bill. If it is all covered in the Bill, better to have double indemnity. If that is the case, why is she opposing it? My case rests. This is what people who are members of the Minister of State's party and members of the environmental pillars want. I want to pursue it on their behalf and I want it on the record if the Minister of State is going to oppose it.
