Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine

Impact of Peat Shortages on the Horticultural Industry: Discussion

Mr. Philip Nugent:

I am not familiar with any specific sites that are under discussion. They may or may not be suitable. I am just saying that in general where there is a difficulty identified with a site that is linked to a larger complex, it is referred to as salami-slicing or project-splitting and has fallen foul of the EIA directive in the past. I have no knowledge of any specific site to which the Deputy may refer.
