Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine
Horticultural Peat Supply and Willow Scheme: Bord na Móna

Many people are contacting us. Some of us went to a meeting yesterday. I refer to people who are renting turf. I know that one place has an agreement with Bord na Móna. My understanding is that Bord na Móna is willing to talk to communities. There were agreements to talk to communities in relation to turf cutting. Is that correct? If a proposal is put to Bord na Móna in relation to someone buying out a section from it, and if it is not liable for anything, is it open to local communities doing that on a community basis, with a plan perhaps to transition and reinstatement?
