I will make a brief comment. The Minister has talked about some of the positive things that have happened. The evidence is that this House has supported him. He mentioned the legislation on forestry appeals. The Opposition collectively agreed to waive pre-legislative scrutiny to ensure the legislation’s speedy passage and through the Dáil. I do not believe there is anything to fear from asking for Dáil scrutiny in this instance and it is for that reason that I will be pressing the amendment.
