Catherine Connolly (Galway West, Independent) | Oireachtas source

I am open to listening to the Minister of State when he comes back in. Unfortunately I will not be in the Chamber as I have another commitment but I will be listening to his speech. That policy review for me was a complete missed opportunity. It was published in February 2018, and leading into that was the time, if we were seriously interested in climate change, to actually look at the policy and ask if it was right to go down the road of monoculture. In submissions made to that review, it was pointed out that even though the forestation of Ireland was very small, it had a detrimental effect because of where it was planted. Is my time up?
