- Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Rural Schemes (30 Jan 2024)

- Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Forestry Sector (30 Jan 2024)
Alan Dillon: Go raibh maith agat for that comprehensive response. While I welcome the new terms of Ireland's €1.3 billion forestry programme and strategy, for me, the Government must be aware that there can be an excess of a good thing in our rural areas.
