Minister of State for Land Use and Biodiversity Pippa Hackett is seeking views on the Draft Agriculture Appeals (Amendment) Bill 2020 which critics claim will leave the ability to appeal forestry decisions “compromised”
Like trees?
Read on.
BOC writes:
Consultations are currently open on a bill to change the appeals process for forestry licences.
The proposed changes seek to make it harder to appeal licence decisions for forestry projects (such as sitka spruce plantations) by introducing eligibility criteria for individuals of NGOs, as well as proposing the introduction of fees to file an appeal.
Consultation on changes (at links below) close this Friday. Please share. Thank you
Please Respond To Consultations By Friday (Irish Wildlife Trust)




Done. Go on and get yours in. Trees are deadly
Email sent also.
Anyone know if there are any online lists of TD’s and Councillor email addresses by electoral area that can just be copied and pasted? Thanks.
Why such a short notice threshold, surely the consultation time should be several months
and who is running the Dept of Agriculture, hardly Pippa Hackett, large swathes of the
country have been destroyed by forestry owned by hidden speculator’s being given
generous planting subsidiaries by the EU and topped by the Irish Taxpayer
Would have sworn that that was Maria Bailey.
