Impact of Peat Shortages on the Horticultural Industry: Discussion

I have a quick question. Deputy Fitzmaurice's frustration is evident. We are totally frustrated that this has been going on since February. Three Departments are in today, but I do not know if we are anywhere near getting answers from them or a resolution. I can imagine those in the sector looking at today's meeting were hoping we would get answers or some resolution to how the situation could be moved on. I do not know if we are farther away than ever from a resolution.
Does the Department have any idea of how many licences and planning applications are in the system as we speak? I am not sure whether Senator Paul Daly got an answer to his question earlier. Could we be furnished with the information?
