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

Victor Boyhan (IND), Agricultural Panel

Some people mentioned me by name. One of the great things is there is a stenographer here and all this is recorded. We can all look at this in the calmness of tomorrow morning. I want to put the record straight. I am not that much of an eejit now. I made the point that lobbying is legitimate and a professional job. There is a lobbyist register. I said it is open for anyone to see. Just be careful. I looked at the register and I am satisfied in respect of a range of issues that there had been lobbying within the Department. That is all legitimate. I am just making that point.
