Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine

Horticultural Peat Supply and Willow Scheme: Bord na Móna

Ms Sonya Mallon:

I thank Deputy Leddin for the query. As Mr. Breen said, we took some measures last year to interact with a number of third parties who had been cutting on Bord na Móna lands. A number of classes of third parties cut on those lands. As Mr. Breen said, there are people who hold rights of turbary, which are property rights, registered and unregistered, on Bord na Móna lands. Those parties are entitled to exercise those property rights.
