Animal Health and Welfare and Forestry (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2021: Committee Stage (Resumed)
Seanad Éireann — 2022-03-22
============================================================

Lynn Boylan (SF), Agricultural Panel

I move amendment No. 29b:
In page 17, to delete line 22 and substitute the following:
“
”.
The wording has been amended for Report Stage. The amendment refers to the native Irish pine. For a long time it was believed that pine was not native to Ireland or it had become extinct but was then re-imported from Scotland so hence the name Scots pine. I believe that a small stand of native Irish pine has been found in the Burren and the amendment refers to the use of that type of pine. Senator Alice-Mary Higgins is unhappy with the wording of the amendment and she wants to reintroduce it on Report Stage.
