March 10, 2021 8:24 am Independent TD Michael Fitzmaurice has warned that a motion of no confidence in the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine, Charlie McConalogue is “inevitable” if positive changes do not become apparent in the forestry sector. Speaking on the matter, the representative for the Roscommon-Galway constituency said: “The forestry sector continues to be hampered by a lack of real progress around delays in dealing with licence applications for afforestation, forest roads and felling. “This is despite all of the measures supposedly taken by the department to date – including hiring more ecologists – to alleviate these problems, which have come to the fore in recent months.
