Animal Health and Welfare and Forestry (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2021: Report and Final Stages
Seanad Éireann — 2022-03-29
============================================================

Paul Gavan (SF), Labour Panel

With the permission of the Acting Chair, I would like to welcome the people in the Gallery. We have a number of workers and some of their families here. They have travelled all the way up from County Kerry. That was a long journey for them today. My heart goes out to them. Due to the fact that all of Sinn Féin’s amendments have been ruled out of order, I do not see the scope to raise the key item that they would like to hear about, which is just compensation. In its own way, that is outrageous. Let me be clear that this is not about me; it is about the fact that these people are about to lose their livelihoods. They have come up here in good faith to see the democratic process-----
