Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Forest Strategy Implementation Plan: Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine (8 May 2024)

Paul Daly: But what if we do not achieve it? I think 6,000 ha is better than having a target of 8,000 ha and not achieving it. I am asking the hypothetical question while it is a political decision, not Mr. Gleeson's decision, I would like to get his opinion.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: VAT Refunds to Unregistered Farmers: Revenue Commissioners (8 May 2024)

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Recycling Farm Plastics: Discussion (Resumed) (15 May 2024)
