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

Lynn Boylan (SF), Agricultural Panel

Birch on peatlands is a pioneer species but my understanding is that this would allow for the full list of native trees to be planted on peatland. Is that correct? It is not just the likes of birch, which self-seed and are pioneers. It could be any of the listed trees.
