Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine
Impact of Peat Shortages on the Horticultural Industry: Discussion
Mr. Philip Nugent:
I thank the Deputy for his question, but I cannot comment on that matter. Under section 79 of the Environmental Protection Agency Act, 1992, the Minister and the Department have no function in respect of the performance of the EPA under the particular circumstances of a function assigned to it under the Act. This relates to IPC licensing or any enforcement matter.
