We are the Rural Independent Group, but because of the Government's manipulation, we will not get to speak tonight on the first round of the Forestry (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill. There is an hour and a half on the forestry Bill. We would welcome more time for the debate but Deputies will have an opportunity to speak because the Bill will be debated again tomorrow.
The consternation is about the hour and a half given tonight and Deputies saying that not everybody will get to speak in that hour and a half. The Forestry (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2020 is a good Bill and it is important to debate it. The Deputy cannot debate the Bill on the Order of Business.
