Paul Coghlan (Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

I greatly appreciate the Leas-Chathaoirleach's forbearance on this matter. I appreciate the rules and know that this is not normal. I did have a chat with the Minister of State privately about the matter I want to raise. Farmers are unable to obtain a felling licence and it seems that the restrictions being imposed on them could be so onerous that there may be no circumstances at all in which they can receive compensation. I think the Minister understands that I do not wish to labour this point but I would look forward to a word from him in response at the appropriate Stage.
