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

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

I move amendment No. 13:
In page 4, lines 38 and 39, to delete “beginning on the date of the decision” and substitute “from the notification of the decision”.
It is at the discretion of the Cathaoirleach to determine if the House has, in fact, accepted an amendment. It is the prerogative and right of Government, if it disagrees, to call a vote. It is not necessarily on the Opposition to call votes. If the Government may lose a vote, it can call a vote and change the record in that sense. Perhaps let us not over-extend what is needed.
