I move amendment No. 5:

In page 4, between lines 11 and 12, to insert the following:

"(1C) (a) The Minister shall establish panels of expert bodies to propose nominees for appointment as members of the Forestry Appeals Committee, similar to the panels used to appoint members of the Board of An Bord Pleanála who determine appeals in planning matters.

(b) Such panels should comprise input from expert bodies and agencies such as the Environmental Protection Agency, the National Parks and Wildlife Service, An Taisce: the National Trust for Ireland, the Environmental Pillar and the Heritage Council.

(c) The Minister shall consider the nominees proposed in making appointments to the Forestry Appeals Committee.",".
