The closed period for hedge cutting will remain as it is until the legislation goes through the Dáil. Where there are road safety issues, it still applies that local authorities can cut a hedge. Owing to the election and other developments, the legislation got held up. It is to proceed to Committee Stage and I look forward to the Deputy's support on that.
