Turf Cutting Compensation Scheme Relocation Options
11:20 am
Denis Naughten (Roscommon-South Leitrim, Independent) | Oireachtas source
Eight hundred and six people have applied to the Department to be relocated on foot of the ban on turf cutting on SAC-designated bogs. They were designated 17 years ago, but to date a maximum of one eighth of those people can be accommodated by the actions that are being taken by the Department. Can I ask the Minister how long one must wait until people have realistic alternatives provided to them?
