Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine

Impact of Peat Shortages on the Horticultural Industry: Discussion

Mr. Philip Nugent:

We have a system that is compliant with the EIA directive. It is a dual-consent regime. Other countries might have different systems. Our problem is based on non-compliance rather than on the system itself. The dual-consent system works. The competent authorities that operate that system, the EPA and An Bord Pleanála, say that the system is open for business.
