Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine

Impact of Peat Shortages on the Horticultural Industry: Discussion

Mr. Brian Lucas:

I am not quite sure if I understand the question. What was being said in the working group was that there was a consensus on a phasing out of peat extraction up to 2030 and possibly 2035. It would depend on the success of the research and development programmes. Mr. Delaney has gone through the research work being done by the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine.
