Camillus Glynn (Fianna Fail)

Many Members referred to various aspects of the Lisbon treaty. I do not wish to get into that but I refer to the issue raised by Senator Leyden, which is the ban on turf-cutting. This is of particular concern in rural areas, including in my own area. Against a background of ever-rising oil prices, it is difficult to explain to ordinary people in rural areas that they cannot cut turf. It begs the question: "For peat's sake, why not?"
