Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action

Citizens Assembly Report on Biodiversity Loss: Discussion

Ms Anne Jones:

I think it was around the interconnectedness of humans and the land or nature and that if humans have rights, then perhaps we should think about whether we have a right to disturb nature in the interests of progress or whatever. I had never really given the matter much consideration until it arose and, as Dr. Ní Shúilleabháin said, it arose naturally when people raised the question. I would be of the view now that perhaps we should at least think about that. I do not know how Mr. Joyce feels.
