Mark Daly (Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source

I welcome the Chairman of the Oireachtas Joint Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine, Deputy Cahill, from County Tipperary. We are here to discuss the report of the committee, entitled Issues impacting the Forestry Sector in Ireland, which was published in March 2021. It is timely. One of the new roles of the Seanad in our renewal process is to review reports of Oireachtas committees six to 12 months after they have been first published. We will look at the recommendations of the reports to see if they have been implemented. If they have been implemented we will look to establish how successful the implementation of the recommendations has been. If recommendations have not been implemented, we will seek to establish when they will be implemented and, if not, why not.
