I raise the issue of hedge cutting, which is a plague in rural highways and byways. I call for a co-ordinated approach between the ESB, eir and the county councils. There are many areas where the hedges are never cut. In other places, it is haphazard. With a pooling of resources, we could achieve far more hedge cutting.It really is a road safety issue in many areas of the country that do not get the benefit of having hedges cut. I ask for it to be brought to the attention of the Minister and, if necessary and appropriate, for it to be teased out further in the House.
