Impact of Peat Shortages on the Horticultural Industry: Discussion
Mr. Philip Nugent:
If I understand Deputy Carthy correctly, what he is referring to is regarded as project-splitting, or salami-slicing. As far as the EIA directive is concerned, those sites would be considered as part of a larger complex. I understand Deputy Carthy's frustration, but does he understand that the State simply cannot set aside its requirements under the EIA directive?
