Ms Sonya Mallon:

I thank the Chair and the Deputy. As Mr. Breen said, Bord na Móna will always be willing to sit down with the communities and discuss issues with them but from a legal perspective, as Mr. Breen has already highlighted, it is difficult to isolate land for individual use for turf-cutting. We are concerned with regard to circumvention of the environmental impact directive and the habitats directive, which was also confirmed in the judgment delivered by Ms Justice Phelan last week.
