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

Victor Boyhan (IND), Agricultural Panel

The Minister of State's response is disappointing. She keeps standing up and saying the amendments are not acceptable and that it is all in the legislation. Double indemnity is always a good thing. That is the Minister of State's decision but this is too important to let go. I will be asking my colleagues not only to vote for this amendment but to call for a full division on it. This is as much about setting a track record on the Government's delivery of this legislation as anything else. Our colleagues will have an opportunity to give it further scrutiny next week and based on my conversations with them today, I have every confidence that they intend to do so. What the Minister of State is saying should be on the record.
