The Department of Environment, Climate and Communications has people on councils running around after tankers, wondering what they have on. A person must have his or her NMP, cannot be in Bord Bia, and there are a heap of stipulations stifling the process.

A lot of people think that they are carbon neutral within the city and that the only people who can solve a lot of this are the farmers. This is the first thing that people need to realise, that from the minute...
- Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (30 Mar 2022)
Michael Fitzmaurice: I will be very clear with the Taoiseach. This is not a delay. This High Court decision has taken away the powers the State gave to every council in the country in 1949.

I do not get to talk to him or to...
