Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine
Impact of Peat Shortages on the Horticultural Industry: Discussion
Mr. Brian Lucas:
I will just come in on the matter of the just transition. We have had discussions on this and the first thing one would need to do is to see whether the crisis the industry may end up in falls within the area of just transition. One would then need to see whether budgetary funding could be provided, with the just transition concept possibly fitting into that. I recall that, in the last session, Deputy Cowen referred to the just transition territorial plan. It is my understanding that this is being drafted by the Department of the Environment, Climate and Communications.
