Heather Humphreys (Cavan-Monaghan, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

We must abide by this law. I met the Deputy with a delegation of turf cutters from my constituency and I will be happy to meet him again to discuss the specific matters he wishes to discuss regarding turf cutters. The Deputy was the chair of the Turf Cutters and Contractors Association. Given his involvement and his obvious expertise in this area, I urge him to work with the Department to resolve the outstanding issues. He must accept the bogs are a very important part of our natural heritage and we have agreed and are committed to preserving them. We must find a solution which is within the law.
