Vote 33 - Culture, Heritage and the Gaeltacht (Revised) (28 Mar 2018) Peadar Tóibín: I have a couple of questions for the Minister. A Bill on An Gorta Mór, the Great Irish Famine, was brought before the Dáil by myself and a Fine Gael backbench Deputy seeking that the Famine would have a fixed day of commemoration.

Vote 33 - Culture, Heritage and the Gaeltacht (Revised) (28 Mar 2018) Peadar Tóibín: On subhead B5, National Parks & Wildlife Service, there is a big difference between the outturn and the Estimate for 2017, but there is a reduction for the 2018 Estimate. Why is that the case? It reduces from €13 million to €11 million in the space of the year.

Vote 33 - Culture, Heritage and the Gaeltacht (Revised) (28 Mar 2018) Peadar Tóibín: I will make one suggestion to the Minister that might be useful. Canada has a wonderful system called riverine parks, which protect approximately 250 m each side of rivers, and as cities and towns develop around them, that river remains park land in its natural state. It means there are continuous parks in cities, which enhance well-being as people can enjoy the parks. It also protects the...

Vote 33 - Culture, Heritage and the Gaeltacht (Revised) (28 Mar 2018) Peadar Tóibín: Obviously, the country brings in a law to the effect that development cannot happen in a particular river basin, etc. It then buys the land and creates a park.

Vote 33 - Culture, Heritage and the Gaeltacht (Revised) (28 Mar 2018) Peadar Tóibín: There is an issue with the extraction of peat by large commercial companies in certain bogs. One bog that has been brought to my attention is that at Clonsura in Westmeath. The extraction there is, allegedly, being done outside the law and without the necessary environmental impact assessments, EIAs, being pursued. What type of regulation does the Department have to ensure that large...
