Forestry Bill publication

Summary

Boyd Barrett asks that the forestry Bill precede any decision on selling Coillte harvesting rights; the Taoiseach says it will be published during the current session.

Excuse me, a Cheann Comhairle, I have not finished yet. On a second piece of legislation, I want to ask when the forestry Bill in section A of the legislative programme is going to come through. Is that going to happen this session-----

-----and can the Taoiseach give a commitment that the Bill will come before the House before the Government makes any announcement or decision on the sale of the harvesting rights in Coillte? Both questions are about legislation.

The High Court issue was dealt with this morning and approved by Government under the Land and Conveyancing Bill. The forestry Bill referred to by Deputy Boyd Barrett will be published during the current session.
