Terry Leyden (Fianna Fail)

I am just trying to be fair to the Deputy involved.

The turf-cutting saga has been going on too long. The Minister for Arts, Heritage and the Gaeltacht, Deputy Deenihan, is doing his best to resolve this issue and has put much effort into a solution. However, there will be a major protest about it here tomorrow. Will the Leader arrange for the Minister for Arts, Heritage and the Gaeltacht, Deputy Deenihan, to outline to the House what he has achieved to date? The Minister should also ensure no further bogs are designated to be preserved. We have all been involved in turf-cutting. I presume the Cathaoirleach himself has been involved in turf-cutting like myself.
