Mr. Ger Hyland:

Is it time we looked at some sort of an incentive for landowners to keep their roadside hedges cut in order that we can see over them at corners? There could be some incentive there. There is legislation in place that states landowners are responsible for their hedges but there is no enforcement on it. A view many of our members and I have is that there has been more enforcement on people cutting hedges in recent years than people who have not. That is a damning indictment of the local authorities but that is the way it is. There have been more prosecutions in recent years for people who cut their hedgerows in midsummer than people who have not.
