Turf Cutting Compensation Scheme

There are turf cutters who do not want to relocate and make the argument they should be allowed to continue cutting at a certain bog. In one instance, I asked officials to meet with the people in question to explain to them the full issues. The only way to resolve this is through engagement. Much progress has been made already but we need to deal with these individual cases through engagement on the ground. I want to work with everyone to resolve these issues. A lot of money, €10.9 million, has been spent on this already. We need to work together to resolve the remaining issues.
