Forestry (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2020 [Seanad]: Committee and Remaining Stages
Dail Éireann — 2020-09-30
============================================================

Richard Boyd Barrett (PBP), Dún Laoghaire

The Deputy wants to know why there is currently a backlog in the industry. It is not the few hundred appeals he referred to, although I do not deny that is an issue; it is the decrease of 2,000 in the processing of applications, most of which would not have been appealed. They would have gone through but they are not being processed, and that is the problem.
