Michael Healy-Rae: I will make just one point on the extension of the age. Experience is very important in roles such as this, so there is nothing wrong with what is proposed.

Michael Fitzmaurice: The Minister knows that the agriculture committee is sitting at the moment and that some of its members will try to be over and back between the House and the committee. To be fair to the Minister and his staff, we went through the Bill in detail. The committee had no problem with it.

Agriculture Appeals (Amendment) Bill 2024: Report and Final Stages (9 Oct 2024)

Pádraig Mac Lochlainn: As the Minister knows, one of the big problems in the context of shellfish and Ireland reaching its full potential has been the lengthy delays in appeals going through the Aquaculture Licensing Appeals Board.

Jackie Cahill: I am delighted that the Bill has reached this point. I compliment the Minister on guiding it through the various Stages up to now, both in the House and at the agriculture committee.

Michael Healy-Rae: With regard to active travel, I recognise €1 million is being spent a day on cycleways and walkways.
