Wildlife (Amendment) Bill 2016: From the Seanad (5 Jul 2023)

Eoin Ó Broin: I have a straightforward question. If I have it right, one of the differences between the Minister of State's amendment and Seanad amendment No. 14 is the removal of the following words, "restoration potential and re-wetting potential". I would like the Minister of State to explain why that wording has not been translated across to his own amendment.

Wildlife (Amendment) Bill 2016: From the Seanad (5 Jul 2023)

Eoin Ó Broin: That is not agreed.

Wildlife (Amendment) Bill 2016: From the Seanad (5 Jul 2023)

Eoin Ó Broin: If I understand this right, the Minister of State is removing the requirement of the Seanad amendment to have a definition of "household use". He is replacing it with a requirement to have a report that will be laid before the House. However, there is no action consequent on the completion on the report and its being laid before the House. What is the purpose then of the report? Is it...

Wildlife (Amendment) Bill 2016: From the Seanad (5 Jul 2023)

Eoin Ó Broin: I have a specific question about paragraph d(i)(III), to be inserted by Seanad amendment No. 3c, which refers to "facilities and projects which can be of significant benefit to a community".

One of the concerns would be whether it could, for...

Wildlife (Amendment) Bill 2016: From the Seanad (5 Jul 2023)

Eoin Ó Broin: I will try to be generous in my response. The Minister of State cannot say he is respecting the intention of the Seanad amendment when he is removing a fundamental element of that amendment by attempting explicitly to exclude greenways and golf courses, for example, from the provisions. On that basis, I do not support amendment No. 3c.

Eoin Ó Broin: Yes, it is for those of who us have not engaged in this process before. A first additional list of amendments was provided originally, followed by a first substitute list of amendments. Will the Ceann Comhairle clarify the relationship between the substitute list and the cream list?

Wildlife (Amendment) Bill 2016: From the Seanad (5 Jul 2023)

Wildlife (Amendment) Bill 2016: From the Seanad (5 Jul 2023)

Eoin Ó Broin: I thank the Minister of State. My first set of questions are procedural, given that this Bill has been in gestation for such a long period of time, and given that many Members of the House are keen to have it concluded. It is also important for us to be very precise with regard to exactly what is being discussed, from which list is in front of us, and at which particular point in time. ...

Wildlife (Amendment) Bill 2016: From the Seanad (5 Jul 2023)

Eoin Ó Broin: Then I have two specific questions. Whenever I hear a Minister of State telling me he or she is remaining true to the spirit of the original amendment and that the alternative amendment is to clarify it and is technical in nature, there is just that little bit of me, that is, the sceptic, who wants some reassurance on the transference from the wording agreed by Senators, in their wisdom, to...
