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

Pippa Hackett (GP), Agricultural Panel

I will not be accepting these amendments. The committee will determine whether it is necessary to conduct an oral hearing in order to properly and fairly determine the appeal. This does not mean there will not be oral hearings. We will leave it to the independent committee to determine that. The committee will have its own procedures governing this matter in which it will make that determination. Such procedures will have regard to fairness and natural justice, and matters relating to notice and notification of oral hearings will be dealt with by means of regulations.
