James Bannon (Longford-Westmeath, Fine Gael)

I have a question that is very important for the environment. I am pushing for the forestry (amendment) Bill, which is long overdue, to be brought before the House. I cannot see why the Greens are not pushing for this. Ireland lags behind every other European country in forestation. This should be a priority and I am disappointed that the Greens do not come into the House to push their agenda a little more.
