Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine
Burning of Land: Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine
3:00 pm
Mr. Paul Dillon:
It is included in both EU and national rules and regulations. There is also national legislation dealing with the matter. We are required to protect the environment and the landscape for all of the reasons to which the Deputy referred. I do not know if hill walkers would want to come to a place if it was burned every year.
