Impact of Peat Shortages on the Horticultural Industry: Discussion
Jackie Cahill (Tipperary, Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source
Just because it is taking place does not mean it is right. I thought I misheard Mr. Nugent earlier. I did not want to interrupt Mr. Nugent but to concede that importation is part of the solution is inexcusable from a Department official. I am horrified to hear that we will concede that we cannot produce peat here for organic industries. Mr. Nugent, you better go back to the blackboard because what you are saying here today is not a solution. I know we have go to the Ministers but to them we will be going. What we are hearing today is totally unacceptable.
I apologise to Deputy Carthy for interrupting him.
