Health Information Bill 2024: Second Stage (Resumed) (25 Sep 2024)

Violet-Anne Wynne: I welcome this Bill and the opportunity to contribute. I might be a little cheeky and say that it is great to have more than two minutes or even a shared minute to be able to contribute to such an important Bill. I heard the Minister's opening statement.

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Agriculture Schemes (26 Sep 2024)

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Agriculture Schemes (26 Sep 2024)

The current issue is that the farmer is liable if the tree were to fall or any such incident. The farmers...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Forestry Sector (26 Sep 2024)

Violet-Anne Wynne: I appreciate the clarification on the information the Minister of State has provided. I agree that there does need to be an interdepartmental action on this. As far as the IFA is concerned, the solution or the pathway is there. The local authority would be the best placed body to remove the roadside ash trees in a safe manner.
