Forestry Bill 2013: Report Stage (Resumed) (16 Jul 2014)

Éamon Ó Cuív: The Bill does not specify that. One would presume that if the Minister granted a licence to fell, he would specify environmental conditions. I am sure Deputy Boyd Barrett would be shocked, as I would be, if the Minister of State did not think that environmental conditions would be specified in the licence. As the example he gave does not stand up, perhaps he could give me another example.

Forestry Bill 2013: Report Stage (Resumed) (16 Jul 2014)

Éamon Ó Cuív: The difference between us may not be as great as it would appear. I understand that the law would not permit the release of confidential or commercially sensitive information under freedom of information. In normal circumstances, it would also not be permissible to release personal information on an individual. Am I correct in saying, however, that if a whistleblower law allows the whistle...

Other people see them as a way of providing the community with vital services that would not...

Other Questions: Post Office Network (17 Jul 2014)

Does the Minister agree with me that An Post should be the...
