If there is a tree hanging out over the road that will cause an accident, please do not put an individual, whether it is a farmer or landowner, in the awful position where, on the one hand, he or she has to comply with the Roads Act and, on the other hand, he or she is contravening the Wildlife Act. That is all I am trying to do. This idea that I am trying to sneak something in to allow people to cut hedges is absolutely outrageous. I have been here for 20-something hours now at this stage. I have tried to work with the Seanad.
