- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Scrutiny of EU Legislative Proposals (24 Jan 2024)

Tim Lombard: They make a compelling case. Trying to work out how one gets movement on this issue is probably the big issue. It is all to do with an objective within the county development plan of Mayo, objective MT09. That is to be changed. I am a little concerned about a few issues. This is a new county development plan that has been passed and it has a certain lifespan. Did the Planning...
