For the Nature Restoration Regulation to work we must learn lessons from the botched attempts at implementing the Birds and Habitats Directive. I spoke about this today at the European Parliament AGRI committee.

Roscommon's population in 1841
was 252,118.
In 2022 it was 69,995.
We certainly aren't full.
Anything but. In fact we badly need more people to sustain our communities and grow this wonderful place. Hon the Rossies from Ukraine to Syria to Brazil and beyond. You're all welcome.

I spoke at European Parliament AGRI Committee today on the unnecessary restrictions imposed on Hemp Farmers in Ireland. There is massive potential for this sector and current government policy is hampering progress. As with many other policy areas this government is out of touch.

RT by @lukeming: How is it that we’d reported that Rory Coveney got a golden parachute from RTE on the @EchoChambersPod last year, and it’s only been “revealed” today at the Oireachtas Committee? Seriously?

If SIPO cannot investigate the leaking of a document because the Taoiseach says he did it as Taoiseach, then any future Taoiseach can simply claim the same when faced with any complaint.
As our lawyer pointed out yesterday, Trump is putting forward the same sort of defence...
