Midlands Minster Dismisses No Confidence Vote As "Populist Move"

She says the threat comes as a surprise.

The Junior Agriculture Minister is dismissing the threat of a no confidence motion against her as a "populist move".

Independent Roscommon-Galway TD Michael Fitzmaurice says the backlog in forestry licences is out of control.

But Offaly's Pippa Hackett says his threat comes as a surprise - as the Department's recently launched action plan 'Project Woodland' was welcomed by the Oireachtas Agriculture Committee, on which Deputy Fitzmaurice sits.

The Green Party senator admits there are problems, but says they're making progress:

 

MOTION: One TD is considering bring the motion against the senior and junior Agriculture Ministers.
