Heritage Bill 2016: Report Stage (3 Jul 2018)

Peadar Tóibín: We are at the most controversial element of the Bill for many people. We know that massive damage has been done over the past 40 years to Irish wildlife. We know that modern society is particularly bad when it comes to diversity and its impact on nature. We currently see billions of tonnes of plastic in either landfill or in the sea, killing diversity there. We know that as a society, we...

Peadar Tóibín: The Minister mentioned the different times of the year when there are different experiences with regard to weather. The fact is that, according to Met Éireann, March can be wetter than February and September can be drier than August. We spoke earlier about human life needing to be protected above all. When Deputy Humphreys developed this Bill, I contacted the Road Safety Authority and...

Meat factories and supermarkets are squeezing them. Another...

This is not going to stack up to a hill of beans in respect of the issues facing farmers. There is a false dichotomy here as well. We have heard...

Heritage Bill 2016: Report Stage (Resumed) (3 Jul 2018)

Peadar Tóibín: Any number of amendments that would solve the issue of dangerous verges and dangerous hedges. It is important that people accept that first and foremost. Let us call a spade a spade. When landscapes are burned and hedges cut back, one destroys habitats and sustenance for the biodiversity of this country.

Heritage Bill 2016: Report Stage (Resumed) (3 Jul 2018)

Peadar Tóibín: The biodiversity of this country is radically depleting before our eyes. This Bill proceeds with that. I ask the Minister to delete section 7 because it is the most odious element of the Bill. I urge her to accept logical, reasonable responses such as amendment No. 19, which asks the Minister to make regulations to establish a new task force to identify efficient agriculture and...

We have discussed the damage that can be caused to particular...
