Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine

Horticultural Peat Supply and Willow Scheme: Bord na Móna

Mr. Ger Breen:

Bord na Móna wrote to a number of contractors and individuals last year in respect of the extraction of private turf. There was some activity on our peatlands last year. We have taken some measures in recent times to address that particular situation. It is important to remember there are people with turbary rights on Bord na Móna lands, which makes them of a different distinction as regards extraction of turf. Does Ms Mallon want to comment on that?
