Niall Ó Donnghaile: I would never profess to have anywhere near the same level of expertise and knowledge as my colleague, Senator Boylan, or Senator Higgins on this, but I do understand the politics of it and the climate, biodiversity and environmental emergency we face. I found the Minister of State's response to amendment No. 64 more than lacklustre. With the greatest respect, what is the point of Deputy...
