Impact of Peat Shortages on the Horticultural Industry: Discussion
Matt Carthy (Cavan-Monaghan, Sinn Fein) | Oireachtas source
I agree entirely with the Chairman. What is more concerning is that there is not an explicit agreement that brings no environmental benefit.
I was going to make a second point. Has the Department carried out an analysis of the planning and EIA regulations in those countries from which it is suggested that we would continue to import peat to see how they play against ours in terms of the practicalities of monitoring, enforcement and delivery?
