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

Alice-Mary Higgins (IND), National University of Ireland

Excuse me, but the principle of the Bill is the issue as just described by An Cathaoirleach, which is one of timing and of a current backlog.
My amendment refers to a period of 12 months. It sets out, as my opinion, what should be the period of time in which to address that backlog and, with respect, is clearly within the subject matter of the Bill. It is not simply a matter of opinion. It is a matter of subject matter and I would argue that the subject matter in this case is appropriate.
