Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine

Impact of Peat Shortages on the Horticulture Industry: Discussion (Resumed)

Mr. Seamus Boland:

They were not outlined in the scope or terms of reference to that detail. However, once we got into it we realised that there were natural restrictions that needed to be highlighted. We did highlight those restrictions. In a sense, we effectively found ourselves having to dismiss certain bogs or areas for a whole range of reasons. That meant, because we were trying to get to a quicker solution, we felt that following all of those broader solutions would have taken forever. We did not have the time and nor has the industry.
